QUOTE(yankiat @ Jan 24 2017, 11:43 AM) Thanks Goldfries. No issue after turning ON the exposure preview. What I take via live view is what I get in playback. Just a question since I don't own Nikon.......wasn't that turned on by default? |

QUOTE(neohwengtart @ Feb 4 2017, 07:51 PM) Guys, deciding between Nikon D750, Nikon D800E used and Nikon D810... any thought? Right now using Nikon D7000, mostly landscape, food and some studio portrait. Is it the extra pixel from D800E and D810 helps? IMO, extra megapixel counts for landscape. So if you primarily shoot landscape, D8XX is better. For food and portrait, I don't really see much need for extra mp unless you doing huge wall portrait. Do bear in mind, the extra mp doesn't really help much if you don't pair up with equally impressive and expensive lens. This post has been edited by DaddyO: Feb 5 2017, 12:20 AM |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 25 2017, 05:08 PM) Yes, that's a whole lot of grain at ISO 12800 but NR software might make it even softer. The details are losing out already. You can try softening and then apply sharpening. But since the picture is going to be blown to full size, it be better to apply some NR to lessen the grain. Or shrink the image so the grain is not so noticeable.I'm already happy that it's not color noise. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 25 2017, 05:27 PM) AF-S 24-120 F4 VR. Miles better. You know, if you are into model photography, would help with some soft flash.ISO 12800 | f/11 | 1/5 sec shutter (hand tilt barrel up a bit). Focal length that time about 90mm. It's all about distance between subject to your sensor, and distance between background to the sensor. The one below is f/8  http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/1724447 |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 25 2017, 06:02 PM) This one the scenario was totally different. There was a lot more ambient light, and less challenging area so I get to use ISO 100 and have some 20 second shutter speed (to remove crowd). I wonder if anyone has try using smartphone LED and then just put like a white paper/cloth in front to soften. For model that size, I reckon you don't need a big flash.The other one, earlier. Now that one's super challenging due to having 2 figures at close range, so f/11 is needed to get sufficient DOF. ISO had to go 12800 just to get reasonable shutter speed. Thanks for the pointer on grain reduction, may try next time. I rarely shoot at high ISO. This is probably the first time I put on display an ISO 12800. As for the part about 'soft light' - I was travelling, very limited resources available to allocate for those sessions. Shot time, limited cargo space and weight constraint.

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 25 2017, 06:34 PM) If I'm shooting at home then my flash is already there, so just use only. I meant in case you dont have flash in hand. I reckon even if very weak light, at least can still bring up the fill exposure just enough to lower the iso by a stop.Phone LED is weak. Need long exposure, and often it doesn't cover enough. If you diffuse it, that makes it worse. Coverage even less, need to expose even longer. Also there are multiple other ways to diffuse the light like using a white sheet to bounce the led light and so on. And Like I said, if the model is small enough, phone LED flash should cover it.

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 25 2017, 11:14 PM) Just have to consider that LED may also ruin the WB. I dont think so. Coz ur camera will auto correct wb anyway. Also the LED also for smartphone camera so pretty sure quite ok. I have tried it and it does fill in the subject by at least a stop. But u cant really use it for human size subject.Both pics I actually have brightened the figure area via PP. The exposure balance was originally quite off for subject vs background. |
