QUOTE(achew @ Aug 1 2010, 05:17 PM) bare in mind that nomatter u use 1sec or 1/100sec(assume the flash power is the same)...it wont light up your subject more..instead what light up your subject when u dragging the shutter speed is the ambient light....so if u want your flash to light up ur subject more..imo u shd increase iso or use brighter aperture..or increase your flash power i dont understand..lol...i prefer to increase flash power..instead of up iso...and using low shutter...i prefer HSS... |

QUOTE(lwliam @ Aug 1 2010, 06:50 PM) flash tips: when you think u need to increase the brightness of the photo. oh.....aperture??...normally for night outdoor photography..how u all use the flash?..point directly at subject?....Decreasing shutter speed will make the background brighter, the subject will have less effect. So in another words, shutter speed controls ambient, like what achew said. Aperture controls flash. Try it out yourself then only u will understand, instead of jz reading, you'll never have hands on. and how to use the bounce card, when to use??.. my DIY: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by ahpingko: Aug 1 2010, 08:34 PM |

QUOTE(zstan @ Aug 2 2010, 09:04 PM) @ahpingko all i want is danbo...wakaka...mayb should change title... the DOF is too shallow to fit your title. all i can see is danbo. maybe you should at least include the sea or mountains or beach to fit the 'redang' title. cheers.  ...btw, i found that the lens is sharpest at F2~F3.5 |
