 Photo's taken with 18-70mm kit lens, Sb-800, and D80. No photoshops and touchups, only resizing. Landscape taken without tripod. C&C is very much appreciated. Chapter 1, Expressions. Curiosity.  Bullied.  Blush.  Doubts.  Mischievous.  Joy.  Expectations.  This post has been edited by darrencw: Feb 10 2008, 02:12 PM |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Feb 10 2008, 02:46 PM) I would say these are just casual snapshots. For chapter 3, the first 2 pics probably can go with wider angle, coz can't see much from the river stream. Hmm, what do you mean by casual snapshots? Mind to elaborate on there? Still noob here. Butterflies are underexposed and soft/oof/blurry.  I just folowed the child wherever he goes and managed to capture his expressions which i think is very natural. As for chapter 3's river stream, i don't have a tripod and i only rest it on a rock. The rest of the pics is awful, that is the best angle i can get. Can you suggest how can i improve the shots of the butterfly? Thanks for comments.  |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Feb 10 2008, 07:27 PM) Most of these pics are very point and shoot lookalike apart from the out of focus effect. Thanks, how can i improve such potrait shots then?The butterfly pics are underexposed. Next time you could try use spot metering and meter on the subject (ie: the butterfly). Use faster shutterspeed to prevent blurry subject. Closer would be better also. If dark, use a bounced flash to lighten dark areas. AFAIK, I'm not supposed to use any flash whenever taking photographs of animals or insects. That is why I did not use the flash. Maybe its a myth, I do not know. But animals don't like such flare right? Too near later the butterfly fly away-lah!  |

QUOTE(jameslow @ Feb 17 2008, 12:51 AM) haha, finally see your photos production, nice set you have.. Thanks for your comments.my commends: chapter 3 #1-sky over exposed, for long exposure, better don't include too much of bright sky, like the #2 is good. #3 & #4-bit out of focus, bump up ISO to obtain faster shutter speed or uses bounce flash. chapter 2 #3-i like this, nice composition. chapter 1 i like all of them, just need more skill to manipulate your flash and understand WB. Yeah i'm still having problem understanding flash and getting the right colour for the WB settings. |
