Crusader 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Stuning pics mate, I really like how you positioned the Avenger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys! See how an overall immersion in diffused light improves over those dinky 'spots' aimed through the tent walls More than half the battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkA 1 Posted January 8, 2012 Much much better. No hot spots because of the fill from the natural light as Reg said, and better white balance. Conservatories are great makeshift studios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,459 Posted January 8, 2012 @ Reg! I was still using auto ISO....... I promise to try harder Sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LHOOQ 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Pretty good camera if you get that sort of image quality at ISO 400! But Reg is right: Shame on you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick 1 Posted January 8, 2012 @Del...It's always better if you can do it in the camera, rather than using software......your target settings should always be, lowest possible ISO, best WB...good DOF...f16 or better, .or de-focused if you want, do NOT get confused between de-focusing and 'bokeh' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted January 8, 2012 It's all good stuff - I'm learning things as I go along from trial and error, and from you guys! If it was easy, everyone would be doing it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkA 1 Posted January 12, 2012 At f16 you'll probably start to get diffusion on a small digital sensor - most are about their sharpest around f8 or f11. Google it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted January 12, 2012 A clue : pay little heed to Googlehounds and emulate those that provide actual photos worth aspiring to . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldrick 1 Posted January 12, 2012 Oh man, more homework! Not necessarily so, depends on your sensor / glass combination, not to mention weather, you'll get more 'diffusion' on a hot day, than from your camera settings You can see the 'diffusion' clearly in this shot @ f36, can you not ....nope....didn't think so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
