The *Official Photography Thread*

she wont let me go to vegas haha, i gotta get there first.

 

thanks friend.

 

I'm kind of digging the shoot crooked like that, for that particular scene.

 

me too, but i figured these pros knew best

 

I like it crooked and cropped. The straight horizon is a little bland.

 

i agree with tidrow.

i was bored and just got these so i decided to take a picture of them haha

What kind of lighting did you use?

 

i used regular incandescent desk lamps and set the white balance for an incandescent bulb

 

Brian, you walk that dog too? mas puto!

 

Versays! , thought id take a sunglass shot too cuz i was bored. pick it apart guys

 

You created DOF, see its not hard with a small subject. Now try a big one . A bit blurry though, unless you dont want to advertise

 

I now shoot the same way i fuck...RAW.

how do i fix the blur? do you mean the background or the sunglasses? i wanted to make the versace logo a bit clearer but i couldnt find how to do that.

 

faster shutter speed or try using a tripod. it could also use a little light in the front

 

is shutterspeed the iso??

i cant find how to adjust the shutterspeed on my settings, there is no section that says "shutter speed"

 

Caant fix blur, even on raw. I meant on the name on the glassses. try f11 and

 

iso is different. that is the sensors sensitivity to light.

what shooting mode are you using(auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, etc)? what model camera are you using? i saw you have a sony but i have never used a sony dslr haha

 

i dont like using auto, i prefer the mode where the flash is crossed out or the guy running. its the sony a200.

 

• ISO is the camera's sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the camera is to light.
• Shutter speed The amount of time the shutter is open. Higher speed 'freezes' action. Slower speeds, when combined with panning, give a sense of motion to a still frame.
• Aperture Aperture is the hole light passes through to reach the sensor.

Together, they control exposure. You need all three but usually you will only adjust shutter speed and aperture once you've set the ISO.

How you adjust them depends largely on what you want to achieve with your photograph. If you want to freeze action, choose a fast shutter speed. If the exposure is under, then you'd adjust ISO or Aperture to correct the exposure. If you want to separate your subject from the background, you'll open the aperture--probably as wide as it will go. In this instance, you would adjust shutter speed and ISO to make it happen. If you want to control aperture and shutter speed (say you're shooting a small kid), then you will want to make sure shutter speed is high enough to freeze the kid and get the separation you want.

Of course, these are general guidelines and each situation is different.

Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
