QUOTE(buffalowings @ May 1 2007, 01:49 AM) hi oriato, Some Q&A feedbackI love your shots. The colour are so nice....I went and bought a nikon d40 after seeing ur shots... but dunno...if I am a lousy at photography or some thing wrong ewith my d40  my pics the colour are so dull....any tips on how to get great colours like u do? I am using kit lens....do you:- 1. Take pics only on bright days? 2. adjust white balance? 3. use auto or P mode? my shots the colours on bright days looks too bright and dull while cloudy days look grayish dull....hai.... Thank you in advance. no diff from my sony t50 point n shoot....  1. Take pics only on bright days? I prefer to take outdoor pics where natural light is most present. For indoor shots, u need to increase ur ISO, or be steady for shots running at lower ISO 2. adjust white balance? Most of my white balance i set it to Cloudy / Direct Sunlight (since most of my shootings are outdoor) i've always like my pics to have the "warm" tone, and therefore the white balance setting has the rite temperature to suit my taste. 3. use auto or P mode? i'm shooting at A mode... aperture priority 95% of the time add-on tips: do try to make use of your AE-lock change ur metering mode from matrix to center weighted / spot to get the colors rite use photoshop to post process ur pics, play aroudn with the levels, curves, contrast & color balance. thats all for now...  happy shooting  |
