1st post all photos : Why all ISO 1000 in bright day light ?

2nd post : don't need ISO 640 as well. Look at the shutter speed. 1/4000. You can reduce the ISO to 200 as well.

3rd post looks fine for me but not portrait post.

Most portrait background looks messy.

how u know it exif?

Because I'm GOD ?

I have EXIF plugin for my Chrome. So it will automatically shown

Kai Feng looks damn cute in pica NO.13!

My advice is u need to pay more attention to the composition. Try to move around to choose a better point of view.

For example pic#3, just slightly move to the side to avoid the 'antenna' coming out from the model's head, and your shadow casted on the leg part.

Pic#30 is a good shot

I dont know how to use ISO lolz T.T

Yeah didnt noticed the antenna and my shadow..

Thx


Oh and btw, i have to move and snap quick becoz the model was complaining hot la, mosquito la, ants la, etc etc....
Where got model complains eh???

ISO is just the sensitivity of the sensor in your DSLR, in the film days, it is the sensitivity of the film, due to different types of chemicals being used to achieve different sensitivity towards light.

Usually you don't need to set ISO most of the time, usually normal sunny daylight just set it to ISO 100 or 200.

If you want to "freeze" high speed action, then set to higher ISO like ISO 400/800, then couple with a higher shutter speed, like 1/1000s above

If you're in darker room and don't want to use flash, then using higher ISO like 1000 or 1600 will make your pic brighter but at the cost of making your pic look very grainy.

Usually you just let the ISO settings to be constant most of the time, you will only have to play around with either Aperture/Shutter Speed or combination of both to get the best results.

model cannot complains now issit? Go find a patung next time.

why so lansi?

gf mah memang boleh complains ;x

No need to bother so much about ISO because that is not the first issue you gonna pay attention on your creation...

First thing is composition. If you found out you're very difficult to stick with rule of third when you're shooting, edit it later on so that the subject is framed nicely. Scenery photo, seriously lack of perspective, lead in line, and foreground interest...

And second is about lighting. A photo shouldn't be overexposed or underexposed unless it's intended to be (for HDR, high contrast BW photo and etc). Both ways will cause data missing and can't be recovered even though gone through PP. My suggestion would be using Aperture Priority mode or Shutter Speed priority mode instead of Manual mode. Let the camera estimate and adjust the exposure for you.

All the best!

8. 10. 12. 17. wrong focus. =/

Can u explain clearer what does "wrong focus" means?

I think he meant out of focus or you're not focusing on the model but the background.

wat camera do u use to take all this photos?

Was using wide focus area lolz

D90 kit lense

since you requested, i come liao. no say i don't come ahhh.

#1 - N/A
#2 - #3 - wheeee, holiday photo.
#4 - over-exposed, lack of compo
#5 - #6 under-exposed holiday photo.........

(at this point, i think you should cut down posting photos that are almost the same)
#7 - #8 - wheeee, holiday photo.
#9 - got potential.
#10 holiday photo again
#11 - got potential. can be used as postcard actually. Try shooting in the morning or evening.
#12 - #14 holiday photo again
#15 - nice, just level the horizon a bit
#16 - nice also.
#17 - holiday photo again
#18 - good concept there. you're heading somewhere (like the footprints) but still donno where yet.
#19 - #20 - ehh I thought I saw those earlier. i scroll up, yeah it's like #15. They're triplets.
#21 is nice but........ it's #22 with alternate angle.
#23 - too bad the details are gone around the ship.
#24 - this one i quite like.
#25 - looks ok. ugly frame. ever considered doing it portrait instead of landscape?
#26 - idea is there. good try
#27 - looks nice. ugly frame only. haha
#28 - nice. Wish you've cover the front of the ships.
#29 - nothing there.
#30 - i like, kick the motobike away next time. j/k

try and experiment

for beginner, u shoot much better photo than me.
iso, aperture and shutter speed are the 3-brother that u have to master if u are into manual mode.
play around with spot focusing next, and spot metering to have a nice picture taken especially when the light is tricky
get a flashgun and try it out, personal choice, SB900, but now SB700 is quite reasonable.
go on with f2.8 fixed aperture lens, like those from Sigma or Tamron, of course original Nikon is the best.

many newbies are being mislead in such a way, thinking that f2.8 lenses are the way to go in photography.

i'd take the nikkor 16-85 over the 17-55 or those Tamron / Sigma without a thought, unless i suddenly for some unknown reason need f2.8 so badly.

Indeed. I'd get 16-85 anytime !

Thx for ur comment

But what does "holiday photo" means? is it a good or bad thing?


Wait i got money 1st lar.......

One thing i still cant figure out is the aperture.....no matter i use low or high it still doesnt bokeh
Must be some setting i changed or something..

Anyone want to be my sifu?

1. holiday photo meaning it's good for memory, nothing artistic nor beautiful. it's looks like what the average person snap from their phone / compacts when going on holiday.

2. a lot of newbies are too focused on bokeh that they forget about the MORE important bits of photography. just attend any of the talk by experienced photographers, see how often they talk about nonsense like "so creamy the bokeh".

people talk about distraction, even if bokeh nice or not nice people focus on whether it's a distraction or not. not how creamy it is.

lol.. Big aperture is a double-edged sword. Good bokeh, but if mishandled, shallow depth-of-field is good enough to ruin your pictures, if you're intended to take group pics, which is far away from your camera.

Full house. ( Fairytales? )
