Wot! Congratz on V21! OK, another shot from my trip to China:

Enter the dragon! tongue.gif

I had to switch DRO off to get the dark silhouette! So strong was the DRO effects of the A700. biggrin.gif

bro kysham: hope you dont mind,i like the pic but i think the silhouette can be darker, right now, i still see quite a fair bit of the dragon, maybe it is just me, i prefer a almost total black silhouette.

besides, the bottom part of the dragon looks abit confusing, the legs is overlapping the body causing it to look like 1 piece of something only. try avoiding having overlaps in silhouette? i think it will look perfect..
nice shot!just my 2 cent...

Yes, I could try to underexpose the shot even more if I wanted the silhouette completely black. But like I said, the sky would had been too dark for my taste. Either that, or I wait for an even later time to shoot this same photo (which I wasn't too keen on). It was a setting sun, not a rising sun for this shot. tongue.gif But yeah, thanks for your tips. Will keep that in mind. biggrin.gif

sorry bro, i commented before i read this post.


Bro albert:sorry i cant recall if i did mention that sunlight is 2600k smile.gif...but this is what i posted in v20:
2600k - halogen (car headlight)
4300k - daylight in the morning
6000k - pure white
8000k - white + bluish
1000k - purplish+ pinkish

you are using Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro?
you accidentally deleted all the pics in PC and camera as well?

yeah i deleted all the pics adi....i actually formatted my cf then i accidentally delete the wrong folder in my pc...

but how do u guys convert RAW ar? i am using photoscape, i convert all pics together, and after that i click 'edit photo' straight away, and i get to edit the last converted pics only. the rest are automatically stored in the folder. however, the last pic size is 6mb, but the others are on 1mb...lost details/colors...sigh...any better converter? i dl RAW THERAPEE recommended by bro albert, but i cant install it in vista oh
