The surroundings are already very bright and the built-in flash has a maximum range of about only 3m  If I were you, I'd use M mode and fix the shutter speed while playing around with the aperture to get a good exposure.

QUOTE(cIvIc_noob @ Nov 30 2008, 11:05 PM) Hm... i was using the free tripod that came with the cam, Maybe next time i will try borrow other people's sturdier tripod to testing and use timer or a switch. Thanks for the advice lwliam. would like to comment on the 2nd picture.. it's overexposed, best time to snap waterfall would be around 9-10, u might also try to lower the EV .. eg -1ev.I like this thread constructive criticism and some troubleshooting, instead of some thread where people keep on tembaking people and keep on talking bout buying good lens only, lols. Here's my take for today, i went to Lambir national park, you guys can google it up. It's near my place, has 8 waterfalls. I took a pic while i was hiking. Camera: Canon 1000d » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This is the run down monitor tower on the way Focal Length: 25 Iso:800 Exposure:1/1000 F:6.3 Mode:Manual This is the waterfall i took,i wanted to take a steady stream of water. I know it's overexposed,i set the shutter at slowest(the one beside bulb) but failed so ended up trial and error settle with 1/4, i used the built in flash too, if not it will be more overexposed, and iso already put at 100, and i realise something when i pop up the flash, the shutter seems to be fixed at 1/200, why ah? I'm using Canon btw. How can i correct my shot. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Focal Length: 22 Iso:100 Exposure:1/4 F:25 Mode:Shutter Priority Anyways just wanna share another shot which i believe most of you cannot get, tribal design. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Focal Length: 30 Iso:800 Exposure:1/80 F:9 Mode:Manual Please comment on pic 2 i want to learn how to improve this kinda shot,Thanks Added on November 30, 2008, 11:08 pm Wow i guess this must be really hard to get, but the girls outline seem blur especially the hair part, i think can be improved, but i dunno how, nice pic dude just 2 cent from a noob=) |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Focal Length: 22 Iso:100 Exposure:1/4 F:25 Mode:Shutter Priority next time, if ur not used to fully manual, in these cases, switch over to aperture mode, and see what is the shutter reading will be... then work on it in manual accordingly... tweak until u like... better still, use a polarizer... |

i said of only a polarizer coz its more cost efficient, well, although it only gives 2 stops down, but it its more versatile than an ND, unless u shoot waterfalls and sunset/rise often.
but if u can afford a set of NDs, then do go ahead... it'll be awesome |

Good idea, i was using manual and cause wanted to get the endless stream and couldn't get the pics i want so i tried shutterl, i will try the aperture mode some other time if got chance, Thanksbetter still, use a polarizer...

Initially was playing with M and couldn;t get what i want so settled with Shutter mode and let the processor do the handling of the aperture. Thanks for the advice, you from Sarawak too, which part?(PM me). DOnt be sad our cam flash range can bump to 15m, i just checked. It says at 18mm and iso 1600 effective range is 14.9m wows thats far. For your second pic, I greatly doubt that using the flash will do anything to the pic. The surroundings are already very bright and the built-in flash has a maximum range of about only 3m If I were you, I'd use M mode and fix the shutter speed while playing around with the aperture to get a good exposure. QUOTE(zabran2020 @ Nov 30 2008, 11:20 PM) hi there civic_noob...juz wanna share wif u about the 1/200 problem u r facing...actually, when u pop up the built in flash, the shutter speed will be automatically set to maximum value of 1/200..if u disable the flash, the max shutter speed will be 1/4000 sec...in addition, to capture the waterfall partical, u shud use 1/4000, without the flash..preferable on sunny day...btw nice shot and nice try....keep on clicking and do read the manuals given with ur camera, it helps a lot... Thanks for the fact dude, i have a question, since it's maximum value is 1/200 can i manually adjust it and how, im reading manual pg58 built in flash, don't seem to find the answer.  Really appreciate you guys constructive comment This post has been edited by cIvIc_noob: Dec 1 2008, 01:12 AM |

Thanks for the advice lwliam. Not to be harsh, but all your photos (including the 1st night shot) are over exposed.

RTFM, and 2. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm, and 3. Read books on composition and exposure, and 4. Observe how other great waterfalls photos was taken As for your 2nd photo: 1. Your composition is way out - and pls - don't tilt it. Not every tilt is entitled to be called "creative". 2. It's over exposed. - pls consult others opinion as they have suggested. Cheers and have fun. |

Am reading bout ND filters from the previous comments might get one since it looks really cheap in sg arounf sgd12 only. Thanks padfoot |

Thanks padfoot Though it's more effective than a polarizer at cutting out light, like lwliam said it's not as versatile. But if you wanna get one to try it out, by all means get it Me?
