so this is how it goes.. when the subject is a pretty girl.. everyone goes wild..

back to photography..

1) subject is OOF, and the shiny wall gives out reflection.. which looks distractive.. White balance is out too, but that depends on personal preference, in case u like warm tones.

2) background very distractive, look at the black thing beside her cheek. And it seems like subject not really in focus, means not really sharp. U using widest aperture ?

hmm, i think pinku did a great job in skin color. hehe

like it very much, so fair~~~

sharpness/background/etc can improve later on.
still a good capture,

For this angle of view. It only remind me of one thing, 35L will do the job best. The only argument is either to FF the prime or crop factor...

move ur legs and zoom
nothing to do with fixed focal length

I am thinking of capturing some environemt with wider angle + blur the background with f1.4 ma...

I had just tested the 35L. Seems like Canon had put some bokeh formular from 85L into it. Too bad the lense wide open performance is not as sharp as 85L

wide angle doesnt need bokeh la

Depends on taste la...

subjective. i'm just stating my POV. some people like it, others don't.



it's ok. i'm just highlighting that my points about using light / flash to fill-in to avoid subject being dark due to the extremely bright background.

you may criticize my pictures on my thread instead btw, whether it's better or worse is subjective. others like it, some find it to be grave mistake. POV always helps understand what others think.

thanks.

personal attack

Kindly explain in what terms it gets worse? Well i can see goldfries is showing a good example of a well lighted subject.

very cute model why you only took 2 photos? with such a nice model around you should be able to practice more and get better soon

My little comment

#1 looks blur / OOF
#2 seems like abit soft on the face part... not sharp enough IMO.

Anything can be improved , hope to see more

Btw, congrats on your new 450D

To everybody,
i get alot of idea from you guys and thanks to everybody that leave comment..

most of my prob is OOF, so any solution for OOF?

and i found out lighting is really important for photography, i gonna learn more.. give me sometimes to learn and i gonna take more girl pic,
that time give me more C&C please ~

hmm...
due to low light and a small apperture value cant let you stop at faster shuter speed... you need to use lower shutter speed so it will create a "blur" photo.

how to solve oof prob ? depends on you...

Not only shot girls ma... try landscape and others

ehh. just learn to focus correctly. set the focus point to your subject.

i don't think OOF is a problem confined to you, all of us face it. you can snap multiple shots of the same composition.

good try anyway, keep it up.

haha, low shutter speed? i gonna try next time~
landscape, i gonna try when i at cherating =)



sure i will =) later on i will post up the others from the same girl, and u all can comment more for me~
=)

thank btw~

aiks...seems like you missunderstanding or I misleading you...
Depends on what situation , when shooting portrait... high shutter speed is better because you can capture the image faster ...

cute girl!

Another suggestion for begineers is to use Appeture priority. So u no need to have worries on the shutter speed and concern more to the appeture. Using a high F lens (like F1.8, or F2.8) should make ur subject look alot sharper with strong bokeh backgrounds.
