Overexposure is cause by your ISO setting AND your metering. To get the best exposure you must learn how to angle your subject and juggle between the 2 settings to get your optimum exposure value. That means more practice.

yes sir! but is not easy to find a model here in kuantan.
even my friend and i don't have experience on portrait. hope i can find someone to join me here.

anyway did you try studio portrait before? is it easier than out door?

Yeah I did studio before ... you can say that it requires two different set of knowledge but the basics are the same. Oh you're from Kuantan, I know a model from there but errr ... she's very VERY busy!

can introduce? do you know any photographer here too?

Photographers I dunno. Introduce can ... so when you inviting me to Kuantan? I stay in Cherating but dinners' on you ... morning you come for shoot

i still see choped off legs

thanks for the link. do you mean that i have to work more on composition?

yeah i think you do. even i do. everyone does.

can you provide me the exif data for this photo?

Save the picture and check its properties.
We cant be spoonfeeding all the ppl in here.

Assuming that you do not know how to check the EXIF via Properties thru Windows, let me tell you another thing : Even if you set your camera EXACTLY according to my camera settings, you can never get back the SAME result, being : The model's skintone is different (she can be tan or fairer already), different angle of the sun on different time of the day, the direction she's walkrf and the angle her body is towards the camera and strength of sunlight. And err .. the amount of Maybelline Glittering Powder on her body as well.

So ... I dunno what EXIF data can help anyone for that matter

the monkey OOF.

becareful when u shooting something/animals inside the cage, u might accidentally focused on the cage, made the subject OOF.

in this case, it is better to use Manual focus if the hole within the cage really small and shaking is quite serious

The answer is Evaluative. Look at the image, cannot be Spot Metering what, hehe.

Thanks, maybe he wanna get the camera also ... Canon EOS300D with battery grip, 2 batteries and EF70-200mm F4L. Getting Loo Hui back to Port Dickson is next to impossible becoz she's in NZ
