You need flash

Outdoor pictures are OK but those portraits really not good.

Really headache with all those Wiralution and now Wira GTR? WTF??!!

Prosan Skywira GTR??

haha.. yalor.. it is for the look alike...

@nairud: i did consider getting a flash.. sb600/sb800 but at the same time do u guys think that a lens will be better? sumthing like the tamron 17-50mm f2.8? or the 18-200 VR

anyway,
i went there 2 times but din manage to bump into any race queens... SOB SOB...
heard tht oni AKI n MOMO was there...

Based on the lighting condition on your pic, i'd say a flash would be better at that situation.

Went for photo outing at Hutan Lipur Ulu Pili and Tree Top Walk at Hutan Lipur Sungai Sedim.....

This are the results....

C&C are most welcomed!!!!

Dude, try setting at least 10% compression on your photos before uploading. 600kb for a photo is too much.

okie dokie bro... thanx for the advise!!!

even u go there with a group of ppl, u can still ask her to look at u from a while, compose n snap

such a lovely place to shoot. mind share with us where is this place?

#1. Too passport "type" of pic, step back with ur 50mm
#2. Try maintain standard colors tone, WB
#3. Over used the f/1.8 need larger DOF to cover the model fully

thanx for the advise grandmaster.... later add a few more pics whic are a bit steped back...

Here's a tip for you when you shoot picture like #2 and post 29, #11. When you have something that is really bright in the scene, try to keep it away from the frame when you are metering it. Meter another scene that has even lighting, without anything in really dark/bright zone and lock the exposure. Then go back to your subject and do your thing. You'd notice that your subject will no longer be underexposed. This is very important when you have subject with dark skin tone who are wearing bright apparel. If you follow this practice, See Peng's skin tone in #11 will not be underexposed, and it will look like #9 & #10

As already said by shinchan, you are putting too much hope on the lens being 1.8....and you really need to set custom white balance when you are indoor.

tq alamklor.... great tips tht i will use in the future!!!

What's wrong with no English name at all, some girls sounds and LOOK great without it, Leng Yein for example
Now THIS pic is 100% blur jor ... I also cannot help you

#1 should not post here because the blur is very obvious.. others are a bit too warm with the WB, but composition wise is good..

hahaha... jus like how tht pic turned out... too bad no flash.... alread f1.8 n up my iso ....

anyway, thks for the comments !!!

lol... some ppl prefer having english name cos easier to pronounce n remember.. hehehe

i like your no.9 pic,good lighting and composition.her black cloth makes her face stands out. try to play more with this colour mood if you can get other composition.for other pics, i think the background is too distracting. potrait photography, i learn one thing. the simpler the better.

This post has been edited by zadan: Jul 24 2007, 12:06 AM

Usually, it is not a good idea to shoot with a very bright background. You should meter the background and fill the subject with your flash.

Something is not right with the color, I doubt her real skin tone looks so reddish.

she is pretty.. get the best out of her...

Colors a bit too warm. Try to look for other background as the camera is focusing more on the background than the subject. Do remember that AF looks for vertical lines as reference. The more vertical lines you have, the faster it will focus... on them.

Out of the lot, #9 has the best composition and focus but her top part of the hair are cut off. Should include all the hair into the frame. There are some distracting things behind her, a chair or table maybe. Should remove them.

And with ac98's advise, the 50mm f1.8 is not sharpest at widest but at 1 or 2 stops smaller.

okie dokie!!!

thanx thanx

ic ic.. i intended to get tht type of effect actually. anyway, i did some adjustment of the saturation n color balance. my d70s auto WB givin me different colors all the time...

hahaha... sure sure... will try shoot her outdoor sumtime...



oh... i jus found out abt the focusing thingy... will try n reduce the warmness of the color nxt tiem..

bro...finally u start posting??
#1 n #2 a bit blur?
r u focusing at the wrong place?
more aperture lesson or u need new lense?

hahaha....

oni using 50mm mah....

i think it is because of my own problem.. lens already bagus...

hm..on pic 14 i can hardly see her face coz of the bright background...she has a face cute face...

Give the model some make-up to start with next time ... please

cantik.

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted.

The posing of photo #2 is quite nice as the sun shines on the model, if soft flash could be fired to enhance the skin colour making it looks brighter would be great.
