Ok, so last minute today at 5.30, I washed the car, and called my mate who I bought my camera off and said "lets go take some piccies". I bought a Canon 350D with grip, Canon EF 70-200 USM and Canon EFS 17-85. Anywho, I needed a small reminder on how to use a few functions, and using the 70-200 with AP 4.0, here's what I managed to come up with.... Aperture Value f/4 Color Space Uncalibrated Exposure Bias Value 0 EV Exposure Program Aperture Priority Flash No Flash Focal Length 70 mm ISO 1600 Metering Mode Multi-Segment Shutter Speed Value 1/160 sec Aperture Value f/4 Color Space Uncalibrated Exposure Bias Value 0 EV Exposure Program Aperture Priority Flash Red Eye, Compulsory Flash Focal Length 70 mm ISO 1600 Metering Mode Multi-Segment Shutter Speed Value 1/200 sec Aperture Value f/4 Color Space Uncalibrated Exposure Bias Value 0 EV Exposure Program Aperture Priority Flash Red Eye, Compulsory Flash Focal Length 118 mm ISO 1600 Metering Mode Multi-Segment Shutter Speed Value 1/200 sec Aperture Value f/4 Color Space Uncalibrated Exposure Bias Value 0 EV Exposure Program Aperture Priority Flash Red Eye, Compulsory Flash Focal Length 70 mm ISO 1600 Metering Mode Multi-Segment Shutter Speed Value 1/200 sec Aperture Value f/4 Color Space Uncalibrated Exposure Bias Value 0 EV Exposure Program Aperture Priority Flash No Flash Focal Length 70 mm ISO 1600 Metering Mode Multi-Segment Shutter Speed Value 1/40 sec Now, I'm guessing that the reason some of the pictures went all grainy is because I was loosing more light than I was expecting. However, the last pic was my favorite apart from where it was starting to go a little grainy from the right hand light onwards towards the right. If I had a light source over towards that side of the car, I reckon it would of come out pretty nice. Again, it's a guess where the problem went, but someone with a little more experience then myself might be able to shed light on it. Anyway - we decided to go out again, half an hour sooner in a hope that the light will be a little more fair. -------------------- Dion Newcomb Photography Glamour - Fashion - Automotive - Commercial On Facebook too!

Did a shoot for a mates ute. Wouldn't mind some comments/crit about them. I had alot of fun doing the shoot with this car, certainly made my Saturday afternoon alot happier. Recently got my tax back, so I'm finally going to look into getting a speedlight to help get rid of some shadows or maybe some reflectors. I still have alot of work to do in figuring out the best way to shoot interiors, but I'm slowly learning. The underbonnet shadow is nagging me in photo 2 - wish I had the owner move the car around more to face the sun. Ah well - these things you learn along the way? All of these were shot with a Canon 350D with a 17-85mm lens. |

I like it mate, doing cars as your subject is always a risky one when trying with ambient light, mainly because of the harsh light the sun gives and therefore harsh shadows. The harsh light can definitely be seen in shot one, with the windscreen being blown out and the hard shadows under the car in the others, your subject is pretty damn rad but so if I was you I'd line him up for another shoot a little later on when you have some kit to help you make those snaps into shots. |

Nick - thanks heaps for all that effort you put into giving me feedback! I posted the images on Overclockers as well, and they mentioned that I definately shot at the wrong time of day! Funny thing you mentioned about the interior shot - I actually used a white sheet to cover the front and side windows to attempt to "diffuse" the sunlight from blasting the dash, but it obviously still didn't work. |

Well...don't ask what happened with the car muck-around-shoot this arvo...I totally screwed up by not checking what ISO was on the camera when I first started shooting. Lets just say I'm kicking myself enough. Only 2 shots came out even worthy of anyone else to look at - and they are both interior shots Man that 10-22mm lens is sa-weeeeet. Did a price check on em - CHRIST! Anywho - here's some shots from the wedding I went to. |

i want to do a model workshop, do you think it was worth it? Totally. Provided you get good teachers and experienced models. If you get either one bad - bad teacher = you don't get all the best information from the session, bad models = you don't see what "good poses" and "bad poses" are, plus you don't learn how to direct them to get what you are looking for. Plus - extra pics for a portfolio = more experience |
