#1 colour faded out
#2 the pic is -1EV under exposed. you need to bounce the flash to get correct exposure
#3 & #5 there are some dust on your CCD already...and not sure what you are capturing
#4 again,you need to bounce the flash to get correct exposure...try different angle
#6 pic is OOF

what is OOF .

And mind explaining whats bouncing the flash?

can u tell me the parts where dust is attracted to?

err...why you change all the position of the pics

OOF is Out Of Focus

deleted...kk...thx for the advice...bounce the flash as in increase the flash ?

you need to clean the CCD not the lens


Attached thumbnail(s)

ok ... done .... blew the ccd edi ... ^^ ..
hey , know any place that provide photographing lessons?

maybe u should avoid snap it indoor first since it's ya first experience with such nice piece of equipments.

u should try something like this...

FZ30, ISO 100, F/5, 1/1000sec


FZ30, ISO 100, F/5, 1/1000sec

your sunrise pics.. it's like in the middle.. not enough details in the sky or the buildings. u either underexpose the shot till u get good details of the sky or vice versa(i.e,u wont see the sun anymore) or u could could take both n photoshop it.

can he bounce the flash if dun have flash kit?

wahseh!

bro! u need to take time to learn DSLR .. emm..

previously u play any prosumer before? else this will be hard time for you..

good luck!!

Overall of your photo = Composition!

yes,use a while cardboard to bounce it

yeayea....thxthx....need at least 3months

Did you shoot the trees and sunrise(s) through your balcony window? It somehow appears like it.

The wire spoilt the feel of the photo.
Very nice touch with the leaves at the sides to frame the photo.

i've leave this to the pros.

The pictures happen to suffer from overexposure and underexposure.

hm...exposures....how do we see whether its under or over? I see it as normal lol....mind telling me some tricks?

D80 has a feature to see overexpose area at playback

Do u mean the "Highlights" feature? D70 & D70s too have it.

I thought the best way to see it is thru histogram. If its distributed equally its CONSIDERED (not all situation) is consider well exposed, if the histogram is on the left side, its underexposed, while to the right its overexposed??

Yup, correct. But histogram only give you the overall result of the picture. You can still have an overexpose spot while maintain good histogram. Have to utilize both to analyze the picture. A good histogram would be more evenly distribute in the centre, neither too left nor too right.

[Edit] minde, read up your manual on the M mode. There should be an exposure indicator.

alright...will do i love people who give good advice .. and yur one of them

yoyo minde, no more pic?

today hazy....not suitable to take pic , i just learnt that i could check the exposure in the viewfinder lawl.... thanks shinchan also , last time gimme opinion . mayb ill post around end of this week ... exam ...

the histogram in d70 and d70s aint that accurate. it only shows the balance of green color instead of RGB in newer or higher end cams.

actually. since the haze is too thick...the UV arent so strong...and there is UV guard that costs not more then a hundred which is good aswell

why dont u post pictures of the nice sun and show me how good u are ? i wanna see the composition and all. and i definitely not as free as some small kiddo after PMR.

This post has been edited by minde: Oct 18 2006, 11:28 PM

Bo Comments?

06: too hazy to take pic la
07:try to make the subject clearer

was with nonBlood when i took that shot , he said got this fake soften filter .... just use your breath to form water vapour on the lens then take the shot...
s curve?

This post has been edited by minde: Oct 19 2006, 08:17 AM

the edited suppose to feel lonely, a lil late in the afternoon with 4 oclock sun.

This post has been edited by minde: Oct 19 2006, 08:34 AM

i like the colour of your shots.
on the above matter, i like the colour of the first one, and the lens flare on the second one.

k thx for the opinion , im still new to photoshop , messed the S-Curves...hehe...

so minde when is the workshop
u might be seeing me around
lol

around this month , on of the weekends. Glad i could see a pro there , might learn more then intended Ill Update the dates when i get it and post it at the Nikon Section.

i was giving some advise...i did not say that i can take photo's well.. maybe i could try some...and im not as free as u think...i have a part time job....

i prefer the first one... colour very natural.. and ur "minde" is like really sticking at the floor there... hehe...

Good camera + good lens = a very good start.
Dun worry, no one will insult you here, we are all educated people.

Thanks for the very nice opinion and statements I hope i can be as good as ac98 in the future

With great teachers comes great students.

KLCC night Shots with Problems

#08: Blur Shot of KLCC ...Need Help


#09: Blur Shot of KLCC ...Need Help


#10: Long ShutterSpeed Shot


Hi , i need some advice . I set my shutter speed to 5sec at 100iso . Now u see its blur bcos of the shutterspeed.

Any suggesttions the for setting to make it sharper but at night without maxing the ISO till 1600 (noisy) . but still get the klcc to be sharper?

Use a tripod.

For the KLCC shots , i used a tripod , its bcos of the moving of the clouds and blinking of the lights that caused the blur....can u share some iso and shutterspeed combo?

Generally, when you mount a camera onto a tripod, no matter how many seconds you open up the shutter, it should not shake anymore, but I've heard of these circumstances :

1. Shake when shutter release - Happens when you mount a SLR to a cheap tripod.
2. Thunder - It'll shake anything, let alone a mounted SLR.
3. Camera not fasten properly onto tripod - The mounting head, neck or legs are loose.

yea true , its on a cheap tripod , but i set it to 5sec timer . After pressing down the button , i walk 5metres away and sit down .
Mayb there was thunder . Btw , D80 at 1600 Got high level of noise?

Good question ... there's noise even at ISO400.

D70s
ISO 200
F/22
20 Seconds
10 seconds timer
Tripod

How do u take those panning shots? I noticed they're all taken at 1/20s. Is this how u do it?

Follow the subject, click while still moving the camera to keep up with the subject?
I gotta try it sometime soon.

thanks.... the noise level at 1600 is unbelievable....need to on the High ISO NR ... dunno whats that for ...will it effect the sharpness?

in PS, try to increase the contrast of the photo, that should get rid of some of the blurriness, then, maybe add a little bit of soft-focus effect.
If you decide to try, let us know the result.

High ISO NR = Noise Reduction.

I have no idea if it will effect the sharpness but i highly doubt so.

its all in the filter right?
