Hi, I just got my Canon Powershot S5is. Still learning how to adjust the exposure and stuffs. Here's a photo I have taken using my new camera. Any comments will be deeply appreciated. I still have a lot to learn from all of you.









Photos have not been edited other than resizing and adding the "@yihchien.com".

All comments will be appreciated. Thanks!!!

hey yihchien... nice shot with a prosumer..

and nice editing too.. are those white bg? or u edited it to be white?

the light is abit too much. u're using flash?. a bit over exposed i feel

Hey Ewin, thanks for commenting. The photos have never been edited, just resizing n adding the @yihchien.com

Those are white background. I didn't use flash, I just set the shutter speed lower and ISO a little higher, 200 i think. If i make it darker, the phone doesn't look nice. So, I set it high.

lies

actually the first post not that nice.... most of the pic are over exposed...

For beginner, learn the camera step by step. from program to tv to av then only fully manual...

u need to learn and understand the meaning of each then only use full manual

Hey Chicaman, thanks. Actually the photo of my dog is taken using Av mode.

u know wat is tv mode and av mode for ?

learn how to see histogram , it is useful to check if it is over exposed or under exposed...
for the pic above, the shutter speed i see from 1 of the photo is 1/2sec, try putting them in 1/6sec....

for me i like the second shot of yr phone...small small things such as pic 4 you can see that you zoomed out too wide till can see outside yr studio box

Tv mode is for the shutter spped thing, and Av is to control the depth of field?

Oh ya, I've forgotten about the histogram thing. Thanks for reminding.

Orenzai, oh thank you for teling. Hehe. =D

Tv is basically where you control your shutter speed and the camera selects the best apperture. Av setting is the other way round where you select your desired apperture and the camera select the best shutter speed for you.

And histogram remains the best way to check if you over or under-expose a shot. Can't really see from the LCD screen.

The WB for the dog is also a bit off, I think its too reddish. Lol but im no expert on WB, I get mine wrong most of the times. Thank god for post processing

yeah u know lol, try to shoot more... learn from experience don worry for your camera, camera are to be used, no need to sayang sayang lol
