Hey all, this is Melissa. I got my own account. B) There's a huge difference with the two flashes! Nice pictures CD! And thank you FairY. :) I went out yesterday and took some pictures of the horses. I think they came out great! (Except I forgot to lower my ISO :P )

Alright here's my question:

 

How do you get the sky in your pictures? Because this picture I took would have looked really cool, but instead of sky there's a bunch of white. :P Is it something to do with the exposure?

 

a more zoomed in version:

TalonSis..

 

Ah a good question about the sky and the horse.. You see, the problem with photography is that it's a poor substitute for our eyes.. Our eyes can see the brightest bright and the darkest dark with no problems. We automatically adjust for this and everything looks great.

 

With cameras either digital or film, there is only a certain amount of Dynamic range that can be captured. In other words the range between light and dark. With cameras this range is a fraction of what our eyes are. So the camera can't expose for your horse AND the shy. The range of brightness is too much.

 

So what to do about this.. 2 things.. You good with photoshop? You can take 2 shots. One exposed for the horse and the other exposed for the sky. In photoshop you can combine these two shots to make one beautiful shot with your horse and BLUE sky.

 

The other way is to use a graduated Neutral Density Filter. This would filter the light in the top part of the photo so your camera can record a less brite scene.

 

Making sense? If not just ask..

 

See Ya Kiddo..

Hey there FairY

 

Thank you for noticing. We have lots of great folks here that want to learn how to use their cameras better. What better photographic subject then an African Grey parrot? I can't think of any...

 

Thank you again for making us welcomed here. We have had a tough 2 weeks and we all can use this breath of fresh air.. right guys?

Hi CD,

I started playing with my camera as per you suggestions and came up with a pretty good picture of my dog Sophie. (She stays still quite well.)

I should have probably used a higher exposure comp. to deal with the low light conditions but it still came out OK. (It's actually one of the best pics I've yet taken using el cheapo.)

Thanks for your help.

I'm still hunting for that million dollar shot of Zoe. I'll post it just as soon as I bag it!

Hey there.

 

That's a tough lighting situation but you know what.. You didn't do all that bad with it. I told you your camera is capable to better shots then you were taking with it. Keep it up. Remember to maintain your min focus distance of at least 3 feet..

 

Keep Posting..

I am by no means a photographer, but thought I'd download a picture of what I get to look at next to my house everyday. This is Mt. Sugarloaf, and it overlooks 9 towns. You can hike up it or drive up it. Very nice view from the top.

I feel very lucky to be able to see this everytime I walk outside. It's beautiful in the fall as well. I'll post a few another time.
