I posted one pic and mentioned the settings on my camera, attracted some smart-elek as well. I never look down on newbies, reason being why so many 'big camera and big lens' owners look down on newbies is that the hassle of answering their twenty questions is unbearable and seeing them fiddling with their small lil' kit lens is disgusting. If you wanna learn, you have to ask, that's a normal practice. Keep quiet and you learn nothing. Give you a big lens also you shoot nothing. I will try to help as much as I can, I also cannot answer everyone coz I dun claim to know everything.


ok. so the hassle to answer newbie questions is unbearable BUT for newbie to learn, newbie have to ask. biggrin.gif

so you have to face the unbearable!!

My tip to you all is ... spending 30% of the time shooting and 70% of the time in front of the PC tweaking your work won't make you a better photographer, it only makes more a software guru out of you at the end of the day. Learn to get it right the first time, if you dun get it then ask, and shoot, and ask, and shoot ... that's how everyone should learn and we shall learn from each other.

software is limited anyway. when pictures are bad, they're beyond touch-up already.

firstly, thanks for your advice.. but i think i already understand all of those.

i already set my arpeture to the biggest, iso already boost up to 800.. i dun wanna go to 1600 coz the image will appear very noisy. shutter speed i cannot go low, first reason coz those models dont pose there for a long time.. and secondly, my hand aint that steady anyway..

and dont tell me not to shoot at a fashion show, coz i go there to learn.. no to shoot for some magazine or anything  rclxub.gif  , by saying that.. meaning all noobs must shoot lens cap at home? cannot go out and shoot events and learn from them?  doh.gif

Let me rephrase that on a bit more technical terms. Looking at the EXIF data of your pictures, all your pictures are taken at ISO1600 and at F29. Some more the WB is way off. Do you look at the EXIFs of your own pictures?

Next time, try to use auto WB as a start and test the lighting before the show starts. Do manual WB if needed. Don't use such high aperture values. You want to make the model as the subject and you are not taking landscapes. Try some F values like 2.8, 3.2 up to 5.6 if possible. Use a focal length of about 100mm (35mm equivalent) if you are near at a nice location or use shorter focal length. ISO should not go above 400 and shutter speed should be at least 1/100s.

If you are not that familiar, do use the P mode and fix your ISO at somewhere between 200 and 400. Let the camera set the aperture and shutter speed for you.

Please learn to walk before you run.
