gunnar2005 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 sample pix of mine.... shot in murten, switzerland. using a handy Minolta Dimage Xt....Very nice sir! I especially like the pic of the glassy lake with the sail boats. The water is so smooth that you can actually see the mirror images of the masts on the surface. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Phrozhen.Khold Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Mhaia... I have a few suggestions if you don't mind... Isolate your subject... there's too much distraction in your photos... remember simplicity works best... for example in your last photo... I know your subject is the 2 fruits... so try to isolate them... the thing in the back is distracting... Your 1st photo is ok... but it lacks depth... plus the set of windows at the right is disctracting as well (BTW, I work in RCBC Plaza too ) Your 2nd photo has too much noise and the photo itself is blurred... when taking nightscapes be sure to use a tripod... or at least put your camera on something stable so that motion blur wont be evident... So far that's it... read and practice some more... if you have questions feel free to ask Quote Link to comment
kapitan_kidlat2001 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 thanks for the suggestion... i'll post more nxt time and will try to lower my ISO setting @ mhaia bkit parang kuha mula sa celfon cam ang mga posted pix mo? but even celfon cams nowadays hav better resolution. m jst wondering....if im nt mistaken, there is no such thing as ISO setting s mga celfon cams. kindly, correct me if m wrong...tnx!

fire_breather Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 hello kapwa photographers! sobrang tagal ko na di nakakpagshoot dahil busy sa work but luckily itong long vacation, nakapgshoot ako ng onti. anyways parang dko ma-enhance ung speed ko sa pagshoot pag nakamanual focusing ako. tapos ung ibang shots ko pa blurred. so is it ok na mag autofocus ako when i shoot outdoor, tapos magmanual focus nlng ako pag still life at portrait? thanks in advance! Ey bro..nice to see you pop in once in a while Please share the settings you used together with a sample pic that didn't come out as you expected it to be when you used manual focus so that the seasoned practitioners of the ART/Trade here could provide their insights. Sometimes, pictures gone wrong are good subject matters so everyone can learn when the comments and ideas on how to fix/prevent it from happening again starts pouring in Cheers! Quote Link to comment
fire_breather Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) somewhere among the numerous snorkeling spots of puerto galera, mindoro...using a Canon Rebel SLRBro Kap, On your caption sa kabila you mentioned corals. If your'e going for the reflections and swirly patterns of the water then the pic works... But if you were meaning to let the other viewers see the colorful and beautiful corals that you've seen 'neath the surface, then perhaps employing a Cicular Polarizing Filter would help in letting us experience what you saw If you generally shoot outdoors and do scenics, skies, and bright subjects, perhaps using the CPL in place of the customary UV/Haze filter as a lense protector may not be a bad idea It can also be stacked ontop your choice of lense protector filter. my attempt at nudes NICE! Can't comment actually as I've never had the chance to do nude portraits nor even glamour protraitures (Calling Bro PK and Sir Benj! ). Comparison-wise, with other photos I've seen on the subject, perhaps a little bit more contrast to suite my taste. But that's just me... Keep on shooting and sharing! http://www.nikonworld.com/Article.aspx?id=252 Thanks for sharing the link! This made me grin as I just bought a "PointnShoot" CoolPix and I'm guilty of not opening the Manual and jumping into "P-Mode" (pangangalikot - mode ) agad and just thumb through the Manual when I hit a snag ( like... Is that spring suppose to pop out? and, what is that crunching noise? ) ... Anyway, I'll mend my ways tonight and try the suggestions on the link and pray it's not yet too late to repare any damages caused by my over eagerness. Cheers All!

agxo3 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 congrats on your aquisition. try mo sa Program mode instead of Full auto (represented by the letter P on the dial). this will make camera compute the f stop and shutter speed but without popping the built in flash Hmmmm???? Don't think that's right. P (Program) mode refers to the use of many different "programs" to determine what's the right exposure for the scene. For example, the camera tries to figure out if you're shooting a landscape, a portrait, etc and changes how it determines exposure based on that. A (Auto) mode simply takes the meter reading(s) off the sensor and makes the best guess possible, weighting all in a constant fashion. AV (aperture priority) mode looks at a manually-selected aperture and makes the best guess for shutter speed. TV (shutter priority) bass its guess on the shutter speed you choose. M (manual) makes you select both aperture and shutter manually. In an SLR, you simply DON'T pop up the lash and voila! - no flash! In a p&s usually there's setting to run off the flash. RTFM! (which means - Read The F$%^&ng Manual!) Quote Link to comment

I actually understand what the manual says and apply such. wy not try posting some shots you took bro lets see. get out and shoot and stop reading your manual Copy the manual? Who, me? I don't need to copy the manual. I KNOW what each of these modes mean. I've been doing digital photography since 1991 - one of my cameras (the Apple QuickTake150) is in the NY Museum of Modern Art as an example of good design, and I own a couple of patents in digital photography. I've been doing photography since 1969 - I process my own film and do my own printing, both film and digital. And I was on the IT8 committee that defined the first ICC color profiles. I HAVE posted some of my shots. Do some back reading, why don't you? I'll go down any rathole talking about photography that you want to - try me any time! But be prepared to back up anything you say with solid technical data! Quote Link to comment

Great b/w shot The light bulb on top of the door on the wall kinda distracts from the overall classic feel. Pero it's still a great composition! Quote Link to comment
