You're right, i didn't use timer, i just snap using shutter, i was using tripod though...
anyways here's my exif for this photo

Camera Model: Canon EOS 1KD
Exposure Time: 4 SECOND
Aperture: f/14.1
ISO Equiv.: 400

WAS THAT THE REASON NOT SHARP?
Here's the pic again

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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, Thanks

yup did that was at -2, max dy (9-10) hehe, wont be able to wake up so early, thanks for the tip dude.


I also thought the flash no use, but i just pop it up for trying and my pic was less overexposed, i dunno why so i kept it for all the shots and this shot is the best that i could take of the waterfall. 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.

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

Thanks dude, first pic i overexpose on purpose cause i like the colour,
2nd pic was not composing at all, just wanted to get the endless stream and i sat the cam on a chopped down tree trunk so i didn't tilt it on purpose, thanks for the link. Am reading bout ND filters from the previous comments might get one since it looks really cheap in sg arounf sgd12 only. Thanks padfoot

Ok i think my focus point not right for first pic cause i must've reset it, cause i took an earlier pic at home with the olive seed it look fine i've uploaded both anyway
Camera: Canon EOS 1000D

Hmm...i will try again trial and error, cause i still noob, cam less than a month, anyways i'll be going to sg tomorrow, will share more 'improved' pics with you guys, hopefully.
I initially lowered to f1.8 because i want the whole background to be as blur as possible 'cept for the food, that's what i read from a few food photography blogs.
Noted higher f value. Thanks again guys. William your cendol looks damn tasty lah...Nyum

wowSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
