QUOTE(tarecore @ Apr 14 2007, 07:00 PM) why most photos upper side...boobs.. erm yeah. people ask me also where's my full-body shots. well nice pix  i find the angle not nice la either that or i just sux at it (which most likely is the reason). other reason is personal preference of disliking the crowd and the setting, of course arguable i could crop those out. i'm still trying to grasp fashion shoot, going again next week. hopefully can do better. this time i'll arm myself with larger capacity CF card as well. tomorrow, see how la if i can make it.

Goldfries,
Good shots but still need to tune up a lil' bit : 1. White Balance - Running lights and yellow spots are never an excuse, practice makes perfect. Get to know your camera. 2. Positioning - Try to get a spot as close as the center as you possibly can. Models down the runway a best shown walking straight towards you. 3. Handholding - All your shots are blur to begin with and sharpened by post processing, hold your camera steady. |

thank you very much!!! first outing with my DSLR leh.
white-balance issue, yes i've worked on it already based on the advice from shinchan / nairud earlier. i donno why that day for some strange reason i forgot about white-balance setting. today also first round i forgot, later only remember. gila wan after go DSLR + fashion show = all forgot.  as positioning, it was crowded so i tried other angles instead. today i've worked on that one already too, so better runway pics. and hand-holding issue, the ones on 2nd page were the more blur ones. i just put it up with sharpening, they weren't the best of the pick for that day. many of the shots were blur that day due to various issues. and yes, worked on it already. i'll upload my new pics later tonight.  anyway your feedback is much appreciated. later you come feedback on my newest pictures la.  sifu feedbacks are important.This post has been edited by goldfries: Apr 21 2007, 05:19 PM |

thx. personally i didn't like head chop off as well.
the additional fashion shots (from 14th April) on this page were just some extras i'd like to show case. not exactly my favs. it's yellowish-tinge can be seen on the entire picture actually. no need white shirt - cos really, how do you even know the shirt has white stripes? right?post processing were done, if it enhances the shot i see no wrong of doing it. it was a white-balance setting error for me.being n00bie in fashion photography, i wasn't expecting my shots to get praises in the first place. it was challenging for me as i was without flash, using zooms (a lot) and the a lot lighting variations. the point of show-casing my fashion shoot is to gain precious feedbacks to improve my shots. thank all of you. btw i'm also n00b dude, so relax. we're all here to learn. anyway stay tuned, i'm in the midst of preparing my latest photoshoot. EDITED : i've not went through all my pics today but so far i'm a bit disappointed. feels over-exposed. well back to the drawing board!!!

ac98, it was (for me) a shutter speed issue but later on manage to more or less solve the problem.
i'm using 350D, Tamron 70-300mm tele lens, no flash and my intention was not just to capture the models and their apparels but also to attempt to capture the background. this week lighting different. bumped up to 1/200. still i find it over-exposed. then in the end at 1/320. much better. i tried even faster shutter speed then the model will look less bright but background become dim. well, at least that's what i saw as i test around. i did the best to my ability. i'm too tired to upload my photos now, later i upload already you guys comment on it la. i do hope you guys will find it to be an improvement. thank you very much. in need of expert guidance.QUOTE(exkay @ Apr 22 2007, 03:05 AM) you're at One U today ? there's women's secret's fashion show wor.. yeah. don't expect lingerie. haha. well got a bit la. i just finished picking my pictures. so far only from Women'Secret la. the rest not yet. damn tired.QUOTE(ac98 @ Apr 22 2007, 03:08 AM) You asking me?

that also over-exposed ah?
well yeah it is, over-exposed here and there but not as bad as those that i didn't upload.  it was a much more challenging outing than the previous.  1st the runway lights - i didn't have to care about this one earlier. 2nd - sunlight so it was tricky for me, i wanted to capture the face, the apparel and the background too.  my settings were simple, ISO800, aperture f4, shutter 1/320. M mode leh. EDITED : oh yeah. and NO FLASH. while colored clothings and angles that reflect light to me tend to be exposed. i only had limited time that day (5 sessions) and i had some really lousy failures as well but overall i learned quite some new things. as you can see the background and face were quite nicely capture (i think) and it's just some exposure thing that i need to work on.

goldfries, i realize one problem when shooting.. its that your setting is not suitable to be used with flash, or it'll be over exposed.. but there are so many flashing flashing from others.. sometimes the flash same time as you shoot, therefore.. over exposure.

QUOTE(maRx @ Apr 22 2007, 11:58 PM) goldfries, i realize one problem when shooting.. its that your setting is not suitable to be used with flash, or it'll be over exposed.. but there are so many flashing flashing from others.. sometimes the flash same time as you shoot, therefore.. over exposure. EDITED : oh yeah. and NO FLASH.No flash 1 leh... Walao M mode... Yeah your model is there, background is there... I go shot today... But I think the results is bad too... I saw ac98... I got use M mode too... But I can't handle it well...  So changed back to A...  But when I was using M Mode... I shot "Dai Fu"... I think everyone shot that cause the dress is shorter than the "Dai Fu" |

I would say it is a very big step of improvement already.. yous shots are more vibrant and compositions are tight. The selection of subjects and the background blends very well here. And although some of the pictures were a little bit high-key, I don't see anything wrong with your series today..

yeah. ISO settings too.
i used ISO 800 last week, so this week also used ISO 800. didn't try ISO 400 though so i don't know if it'll be better. the thing was that last week i used f5.6 and this week i used f4 and i didn't expect the results to be THAT drastic. as usual, on LCD it looks fine. but yeah, getting to know the camera better now. it's a learning process. all in all i'm glad to see improvements in the shots.

QUOTE(goldfries @ Apr 23 2007, 12:30 PM) yeah. ISO settings too. Let me tip you here ...i used ISO 800 last week, so this week also used ISO 800. didn't try ISO 400 though so i don't know if it'll be better. the thing was that last week i used f5.6 and this week i used f4 and i didn't expect the results to be THAT drastic. as usual, on LCD it looks fine. but yeah, getting to know the camera better now. it's a learning process. all in all i'm glad to see improvements in the shots. There are 3 Elements you need to remember for now - The ISO, the Aperture and the Shutter Speed : 1. The ISO setting basically controls how 'sensitive' the sensor/CCD : The higher the number, the stronger its sensitivity is to colour and light (consider it like it's your sex drive, haha!). 2. Shutter Speed, this one abit tricky : The faster the shutter plane closes the less light and colour have a chance to penetrate. By 'penetrate' I know you guys have lotsa ideas already, I will leave it at that for you to remember easier. 3. Aperture setting : Well, the bigger the opening the more light and colour can The ROT (Rule of Thumb) is : The more light hits the sensor/CCD the brighter the image becomes, if you have a overeposure that means somewhere along the the line you either have too low a shutter speed, too wide an opening or too sensitive an ISO. How you can juggle between this 3 elements would depend on how well you handle your camera, there are no fixed settings for any kind of enviroment. Hope that helps, happy shooting!:) This post has been edited by ac98: Apr 28 2007, 02:37 AM |

NEW SHOTS!!!
most of the shots were done on 50mm prime lens - what to do, just bought the night before then straight bring it into action.......... here we go!!! this one taken with my 70-300mm at 70mm.  this point onwards are taken with 50mm prime lens.      this one taken with kit lens at 18mm. all other subsequent picture are back to 50mm prime lens.     notice some with yellowish tinge? they were NOT mistakes. after playing with the WB settings i decided to go with the yellowish tinge because that IS what i saw when i was there. thought of capturing as close to reality as possible. the final 2 shots i set the WB to tungsten because i find it too yellow. C&C are always welcome. hope you enjoyed the shots btw. |

OK - i just had a trip to Awana Genting Highlands.
Here are some shots that I managed to snap, it wasn't a happening place as you all know, so what I did was to go around a bit and snap what I found interesting, or at least make something out of them. The shots were mainly snapped from either my room, hotel lobby or the pool side. I went there for a break, so don't expect me to go around that much. now let's start off with some scenery objects. Mixed weather   Sunrise (with not much sun)  Gloomy skies  Slightly brighter gloomy skies  Sun manage to shine through as it begins to set, brings some light into gloomy scenery  |

View from the lobby. i composed it to contain some blurred closer objects to frame those plants on the wall along with the shadow.
 Some nice greens from nearby lobby area. I donno, I just admire how beautiful those leaves are.    Decorations at the lobby. (yes, i snapped them while sitting on the sofa.)   Scenes from the garden    |

Da dragonflyz. Yeah, took some hard work snapping it. The rest of the shots didn't turn out that well due to lack of sunlight.
 Some plants around the golf course. First picture shows the shade of green vs the maroon background PLUS the subtle shades of the hill. Second picture is just to highlight the maroon on the darker background.   From this point onwards it's all flowers        |

Yes, all flowers
This shot I'm trying to show the texture on the Hibiscus' petal  And this shot, it that part of the Hibiscus. Pollen or something, I don't know.  Sorry la, the Hibiscus were snapped at a shaded area in the restaurant. So what I did was to experiment having the object vs darker background to see whether I can off-set the effect of the lack of lighting. (sorry if what i say doesn't make sense either)    Notice the bee? Maybe it's a wasp or hornet, I don't know. Just snap only la.      ALRIGHT - that's all folks!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy the photos taken by yours truly. C&Cs are welcome. This post has been edited by goldfries: May 27 2007, 03:56 AM |

Didn't really like the plant shots, they seemed somewhat bland to me I think the last plant shot would be great if it had morning dew on it.

You have definitely made the flowers look nicer than it should be... Great work man.
I guess I should be more sensitive to the surrounding when I go vacation. Never though a simple plant shot can be so beautiful. Two thumbs up man. Your overall composition is good. |

QUOTE(afs @ May 30 2007, 11:52 PM) http://www.goldfries.com/images/gallery/al...0525awana31.jpg thank you.I like the bokeh from this one.... u really Mat Bokeh laaa... btw you guys know that the picture set starts from Page 4, right? |

PIC #1
1/160, F5.6, 70mm, ISO800. WB auto (that's why yelllowish) PIC #2 1/125, F5.6, 259mm, ISO800. WB auto (that's why yelllowish) those pics resized then PP on sharpness a bit. IMO they're not as sharp as my other pics, after all those that you quoted are my 1st DSLR outing. subsequent ones are better, and i rarely zoom at full 300mm because i use hand, no IS / VR / SR whatever you call those anti-shake tech.the only time i always zoom 300mm is when shooting moon. that also not that clear on the moon's details (not telescope). |

arh ha! photographing is my favourite part. I'm a user of 5D. I shot mostly on landscape. Well, to decide if a photo is well exposed or not, you must always refer to the histrogram. Check www.dpreview.com for more info on photographing. I've been selling my photos at google and if you are interested go take a look.

cool man. i played paitball few times before, but to shoot photos from INSIDE the playing area is something that i'd give second thought.. hehe. U know, the pain is ok, but if the camera got hit, that's the REAL pain!! hahaha..

eh no joke man. some people kena before, hit by pellet on the lens and went through to the body!
i was advised to use at least 2 filters to take the impact of pellet on lens. and since mine is not weather-sealed like EOS 1D and those L series lens, i use towel to cover my gear but sometimes still lose track of the towel la. |

Sometimes it's not easy to find subjects for our photos, don't you think? I feel the same for you photos #2, 3 and 6.
Although many people have already said it - I love photo #1. The more I use a dSLR, the more I want it. ARGH |

well, i'm trying to shoot pics of my nephew inside the house. so, at being young age, he's hyperactive. the problem is i keep getting blurred hands/legs because he moved too much. i tweak my Aperture and Shutter but I'll get either that (blurred hands/legs) or dark pics (because of EV at -2). Is there any thing else I need to tweak? My WB is auto so as my ISO.

oh..indoor pics is much different...maybe you could try putting your settings at :
-f5.6 -ISO800. Do not go up to 1600. only do so if really necessary -maybe you could try about 1/150? but be sure to have enough light that is... why do you need to set the EV to -2? that will only make it under exposed... |

ok here's the thing with the F3.5-5.6 18-55mm, once you zoom to 55mm range the aperture goes down to F5.6 and in order to compensate under-exposure you'll have to either raise the sensitivity (ISO) or lower the shutter speed or both. that's why go for Aperture priority mode, set it to the highest ISO sensitivity (yours should be 3200) then adjust the EV meter to center. then try snapping. if the light is terribly low then the noise would be more visible but you have to think la, you rather noise and decent picture or little noise but unusable pictures? if the setting works fine, try lower the sensitivity to ISO1600. you have to play around the settings to see what works best for your environment. remember that your sensitivity setting and the aperture limitation will determine the shutter speed in the end. that's why people are always aiming for lens with higher aperture, such as the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 |

I went to Gabai Waterfalls today.
    * No, it's not under-exposed. This was the actual scene, it was a pretty dark area.  Just sharing. There's total of 58 shots so I can't be displaying all here. |

QUOTE(nairud @ Nov 9 2007, 12:13 PM) if you have a flash and shooting at long exp, i think you can make the stones a bit more exposed. hold the flash, not mounted on the camera. once in a while burst some flashes onto the stones. *altong's method* next time you show me. this is just 1/2 of the entire picture cos the top part not so nice la, can see electric cable or something. this bottom part was how it looked like on that day. i always like my shots to look as it is.btw my shots undergo only resize and sharpen after resize. no color adjustments. brightness and contrast for about +-5 photos only, that also minimal touches.

I read from somewhere that you should use some filter (forgot whether it's CPL or ND filter) to avoid the water stream from being blown, as can be seen from your photos.
My 2 cents la, I'm no expert. |

Hey goldfries,
I got a noobie question for you, I hope you won't mind me asking. How did you get the effect of the stream on picture 1, 2 and 4? Do you mount your cam on a tripod and let it go on a long shutter speed? Mind providing the info? |

OMG, is that Kepong Sentral? Looks awfully familiar as it's the station near my place! LOL
Great shots by the way, I'm still frustrated at the kind of results I'm getting with my 400D. I got a great camera but I can't shoot well enough.

yeah it is Kepong Sentral. I can tell you which location I snap at.
I was lucky that during that time the hot and bright sunlight caused a dramatic contrast between the areas exposed to the light and the areas in the shadows. just practise la. you'll get it eventually. btw I've edited the earlier post with numbers for each pic. #1, #2, #3 and #5 - 18-55 kit lens. #4, #6, #7 and #8 - Tamron 70-300mm This post has been edited by goldfries: Nov 29 2007, 03:21 AM |

     25 pictures in this album. i can't be posting all here la. direct link to gallery is here http://www.goldfries.com/inperson/mygaller...ipaintball&n=25 those photos were taken with PAIN. real pain, because paintball are flying all over the place. stand clear of their supposed target area also some how it still come at me. took quite a few hits, blue black. hit my mask, smear my camera. blablablbalbal eh again, not easy ah snapping with the camera a distance away from your face. note that i have to wear facemask. C&C welcomed, make sure you quote the picture from the gallery (or here) if you want to know more details on the shot or would like to comment on it. all shots were taken on Aperture Priority mode. |

for me, i noticed that the crowd is all too focused on dogs. i have nothing against dogs but for me, the attention on the dogs were so great that I decided to go for the lesser noticed things in the exhibition. for example, how many actually noticed the marine tank? and Petster's Kibbles? |

HAHA I was there on Sunday though, and why is one of the photographer using flash at the aquarium =.=" everyone loves longkang. see la the PC Fair pics. all the drools. donno him. hehe. normaly those aquariums are really brightly lit already. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Mar 29 2008, 11:42 PM) ahh. a few things la. i always like my shot to be 6x4 or 4x6 after crop less detail of the cat eyes and its bulu liao neh in this case, that's the best i can crop. leaving the hand is alright for me cos i wanted to show that the fella was in a human's embrace (or more like cekik here. )brb i go try another cropping style for it. if nicer then I'll use your suggestion. like this? btw, can see noise on the blue carpet iso?

you asking about the cat? no la not 100%. what you see in that pic is practically the width of the original picture, as seen in the earlier pages.

Sorry, never had the chance to process it due to lotsa work.
So now, here's the pictures from 2nd day. Instead of posting all 45 new pics at once, I'll go by batches of 10 for lesser loading and better attention too. pics removed for faster loading. please visit my gallery for those pictures removed.

I'd suggest lighten up the eyes and make the catch light more visible since you are not using flash.

thanks kelvin. but can you elaborate further? cos that area, very minimal lights for me to play around with. and pets aren't something that cooperate well with composition.
anyway, adding 10 more pictars pics removed for faster loading. please visit my gallery for those pictures removed. This post has been edited by goldfries: Jun 30 2008, 05:37 AM |

not all apartments are strict in pet enforcement. and cats aren't noisy like dogs. (yes, i'm speaking from my experience as a person who took care of cats and dogs before)

yup - it was dark. a gloomy day but i so happen to see the rather dramatic sky. the sunset was just on the horizon so i took the opportunity.
i only wished the sunlight was a little stronger on #4 #2, aihh a lot of trees kacau but manage to get a nice shot in the end. |

Thanks guys for all the good words!
Now, new set of pictures. I was covering a swimming event on 18th July (Friday) and the participants were from Primary 1 to Primary 6. So sorry la, don't expect Olympic quality swimmers. These are just kids having fun, most of them jump into the water with tummy hitting the water straight on. The participants are pretty much lack of swimming skills across the board. Getting a nice shot isn't easy as most of their strokes are either badly timed or just look like some desperate struggle just to get it over with. Generally I don't have much ground to play with, it's all about spotting the better swimmer and hope to get a nice shot before it's beyond composition point. Anyway, here are my best for the day. #1  #2  #3  #4  C&C welcome of course. |

Great shot on #2. But it would've been better on a landscape so you see the boys arms. If I recall in swim shots, tighter angels are used on the breathe to create the intense feeling.
Wahhh! 70-200.. i must go find you liao, goldie. |

yeah surely would've been better on landscape but everything is fast, his next surfacing and i would've lost the angle already so no choice but make best out of the scenario.
