Nice long shutter speed photo !
To make this even better, you can try
1. Multiple exposure. The trees and rocks around are a little underexposed. Having a little details and a tad bit brighter would be good (but not as bright as the water)
2. If possible and if the skies are blue with clouds, merge the exposure of the skies as well so it would not be pure white.

Was it mean take 2 balanced exposure for the skies and waterfall surroundings and merging them togather?

either that or photograph in RAW and use the exposure get the exposure needed, multiple layers.

for my interior photography work, i shoot multiple exposures. usually 3. exposure varies 1 - 2 stops depending on how the dark and bright areas vary.

after that, have them in multiple layers in photoshop and do selective clearing. (brush. clear. % set).

Shooting in RAW is good but its just taking to much memory spaces because of uncompressed image right? hmm.gif

With USB 3, cheap HDD and SD cards, storage and transfer speed is a lot cheaper/better now than many years ago.
Unless you're shooting with a medium format, picture size should never be an issue.

1. More than just uncompressed image. It has other details that you can adjust.
2. Doing commercial work - you bring whatever it takes to get the job done
3. Benefits from headroom for PP outweighs the space issue.

You can do a lot with a single RAW file, especially in controlling white balance and balancing backlight. for example

Definitely.

1 RAW file from a 60D should be about 20MB
A 64 GB card can store about 3.2K images.
Far more than enough for any single day event including weddings.
So you don't have to worry about changing cards halfway through.
Now, videos will be a different story.

Before you say that a 64GB with a good speed (40MB/s) is really expensive...
Nowadays You can get one for way below RM100.
www.amazon.com/dp/B00AV3XK62

What will you get ?
Far better dynamic range and details.

Based on 3.2K images are with 18M RAW or 10M (M)RAW ?

Let's say Full sized 18MP raw will be about 25MB (average)
That's still 2.5k images
For a 6 hours event, you'll have to take 7 pictures every minute continuously to reach that.

LegendLee estimation is quite close. smile.gif And yes, it's exactly like what he said.

Going by my folders
Folder 1 - 82 photos. 1.76GB
Folder 2 - 106 photos 2.45GB

188 photos for 4.21GB, Estimated 179 photos per 4GB.

You get 716 photos per 16GB. 64GB can get you up to some 2.8k++ photos.

Hi all, any1 can let me know what's wrong with my gf dslr? There are spot captured in the pictures (circled in red). The spot also shows up in the camera lcd screen itselft.

Is it dust trapped inside or hardware faulty itself? Cost if need to fix it?

Am not a dslr user.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like your DSLR sensor or Lens inside got dust, time to send service center for perform clean up. Does your camera still under warranty?

I will improve thanks . I still need to fully master the functionality of Canon 60D and the Exposure Triangle

QUOTE(falcon21 @ Nov 24 2014, 11:49 PM)
Thanks for the reply.

The dslr is out of warranty. Possible to learn the right way if sensor cleaning ownself with the right equipment? Any link to share?

Since of coz it would be better diy rather than sending to SC all the time.
