1. underexposed
2. this one is the one i like among the bunch...its sharp and nice
3. the background is very messy...thus making the subject less standing out
4 and 5 its always better to use the natural lighting if possible

thanks orenzai.

1. yea had a tough time capturing tat bugger when he wont stay still..didnt want to photoshop it as it find not improving my capturing skills.

3. hmm background still messy huh after the bluring..will remember this tip, thanks

4.5. when u say natural lighting it means no flash n raising the iso?or using a large aperture?

im abit in denial as most ppl would tell me to raise the iso if the picture is dark..but raising it would make my pics noisy...so wats the other alternative?

depends on what camera you are using then you will know the limit of the noise level. bare in mind that a more blur background doesnt mean that you can cover up the mess. Always search for a simple background. Natural lighting-maybe you can try to use a tripod stand instead of increasing the ISO. Aperture would also be an option

ok today went to KLCC..so decided to try taking some landscape shots...honestly dont know what is considered a good landscape shot and how would you say its good n stuff...plus it was getting dark.i played around with the iso n all to get funky results..

sky abit dim at the moment..but manage to make it look like its still early..notice the time?


playing around with the shutter speed to get the "non still" water effect. didnt quite jadi as my hands were terribly shaking

next attempt to capture running water...still with the "non still" water thingy

this reminds me of a postcard i once saw

my sharpest pic i can get on suria klcc

sense the depth ?
focusing right at the middle


someone once told me..photography would be good if it tells a story..heres mine...giant light sabers
over exposure not good?

and lastly..my last 2 fav pics



was laying down flat on the bench to snap this..once i got the cam settings right this was fun..only challenge was my shaky hands


my equip canon 400D kitlens
dont own any flash,tripods or anything ....my 1st cam and 1st time snapping this much..go easy

the very last portrait reminded me of the girl from Batman: The Dark Knight. xD

Still they look kinda dark though. o.o

The hairs covered most part of the face. Perhaps you should expose more of the face? Just my 2 cents

dark which 1?on my monitor it looks ok.. :S
the close up black n white 1 is alil darker then the rest..tat was intentional la.

reason y hair cover the face alot is cos she said she looks "round" so..side view ones are the only 1 picked..

hehe...show abit dun show abit..gives the sense mystery rite?

try normal angle for beginner

normal angle means straight on the face rite?

Sunday's outing ..bukit jalil and then the dog olympics at 1u


doggie time..

cont...

Tho these are the pics from the Girls in School uniform but i feel ive successfully changed the theme to just some casual photo shoot.

Phoenix

Nice pics there tytons, but some pics the composition can be better. Your pics so much nicer than mine.

nice?haha no la...i was using too small aperture most of the time..wasted alot..all my potraits became landscape pics

will take note on the composition issue

Brother, aperture really too small la.. Must use largest aperture avaiable... or else feel like compact camera or prosumer liao...

Once you blur the background.... It will also help confuss the viewer that everything else are not important... like composition.... because everything blur liao... hahaha... I also very blur today... drunk last nite... still headache..

haha...will really remember next time to have largest aperture..actually..im starting to think..as long as its a portrait picture..my aperture = bigger = better ..no?
