this was shot before sunset. Sb-600 on cam. and the shadow maybe becuz of 1/60s shutter speed not fast enuff i guess . it seems to be on all of my flippy photos from that day. so basically it's just backlighting and super harsh on cam flash set on 70mm manual zoom at 1/16 the AWB really failed. all of the photos have different color tint haha!!

nice shoot,i like the 1st pic,very beautiful natural contrast colour (warm n cool contrast)

can i ask a question?
how 2 get a clean n nice blue sky shoot in hash lighting situation ?
is it meterting problem ? or keep the aperture as small as possible?

It depends on the God.

Dry weather, clean air and a little bit of luck I guess.

Small aperture helps as it doesn't blur out the background for it has greater DOF.

And there's some pp I did.. playing with color warm and saturation on the RAW image file.

Oh ic.
coz nearly i'm really facing this problem when i take pic in hash sunlight,all the sky were bright n flat is i focus on mid tone object.
is i focus on sky then will get better result,but other scape will dark n dull........
is it only can get peferct shot at morning ,evening n after rain?

any1 heard about sigma 70-300mm macro crack ?

Camera sensor doesn't work like human visual sensor (eyes).

You need to pick which subject you want to be properly exposed and leave other over/under-exposed.

You can't have both extreme 2 ends to look nice in a single shoot. You can however get that through HDR processing.

Of cause there'll be some tools and technique other than HDR to get the exposure you want, like using a GND filter or by adjusting the "level" and "curve" of the photo.

The human eye has a higher dynamic range than the camera sensor.
Moreover the human eye is extremely adaptive, it reacts to tiny changes instantaneously so you'll always see the "best" image
Like da3shou3 said, you can achieve higher dynamic range by utilizing a GND filter, but the GND cant be used for All occasions. The GND has a specific pattern in which only certain scenes and landscapes can fit properly.
Or you could go HDR

hahaha....that's mean i still hv 2 play with hdr....
time 2 lean n play with it now....
not really like hdr,coz feeling not natural ....
hdr also not acceptable in competition ......
thk buddy....helping me alot with my doubt
