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.

You asking me? Nope. I grew tired of fashion shows already, been shooting them since 2002, from film to digital, sien jor. You all go shoot and practice-lah.

Oh yeah the 'taifu' incident ... when that happened I lower my camera, looked up and saw everyone was fcking GLUED to their viewfinders and shooting away, some stood by the side and shying off.

See the difference between perverts and shy guys? laugh.gif

yeah. ISO settings too.

i used ISO 800 last week, so this week also used ISO 800. sad.gif 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. wink.gif

Let me tip you here ...

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 cum come inside, enough said. The smaller the number the bigger the opening.

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!:)

thank you ac98.

i've been using camera for quite a while and i've always kept those 3 stuff in mind biggrin.gif my problem was like what you mentioned - juggling between them, and also the error in misjudgement based on LCD output. <=-- seems to be my problem. darn.

i guess i haven't been snapping often enough to be a better judge, my photo-count for past 2 years i think less than 2k. tongue.gif

what other tips can you give me? biggrin.gif  notworthy.gif

Never trust the LCD, do it like you would using film : You cannot see results, the PC's monitor should be your first result reference, hence you need to have a monitor that is very well tuned or else you'll be arguing how others see your pics and how YOU see your pics after post-processing.
