The "Post your pictures here" thread.

number 3 is bland, nothing is really highlighted... but the other 3 are lovely. Number 1 is nice, i have trouble getting that effect but number 4 is my favourite. I cant decide if it's a little overexposed but even if it is, it's a lovely shot

Nice model too. As a man i feel it my duty to point that out.

number 1 and number 4 spot on !!!! number 1 looks like a movie still from a horror flik i just expect some monster to be on the left of it!!! and in total agreement with DamptCat lovely model

haha, I'm sure she will be flattered and might make her more suseptible to sitting about for a while at a time.

I also am also undecided if no:4 is about 1/3 stop over, I'll probably bring it down just a touch and see how it looks.

The thread I made didn't get many comments so I thought I would post these photos from my first every off camera flash test

Thanks.
Yeah kinda thought that it was a bit too bright, the lights in my room are too dim, so I brought in a beast of a lamp to help, which it certainly did lol

I might try and lighten it a bit later.

elpedro, love the dog pic

My parents used to have a dog like that. Sadly the last time I saw it was when I had to bury it whilst they were on holiday.

Original

Lowered Brightness

What do you think, better?

yantorsen · 22 Jan 2009 at 00:53

not much difference, original looks better to me though.

The second one is just darkened down a bit, there shouldn't be a huge difference

ScarySquirrel · 22 Jan 2009 at 08:15

I think the second is better as you have brought back some of the detail in the highlights. In particular along the desk.

still learning the lingo here but does that translate into meaning hes put more focus onto the object (object being the camera lens) as it looks like it to me

Well I was talking about the actual desk. I am by no means an expert but if you 'blow out the highlight' you have basically overexposed the shot so where there should be detail, there is in fact just white. It might be my monitor but in the 'lighter' image, part of the desk just looks bright white to me.

The 'darker' image has brought back some of the detail and is more balanced.

EDIT: On second look the same goes for the lens as you say, not quite so much as the desk.

EDIT2: Just looked from a different angle and most of what I said went out the window. My god my work laptop sucks for looking at photos

KrooKedUK · 22 Jan 2009 at 18:32

lol

The main problem was that I brought in a huge lamp and positioned it badly

resulting in the light reflecting off the desk.
