thank you everyone for your input and effort. thank you tomi G for your time spent of the pic..... I guess the subject is the gazebo. But my goal is to get the pic to look the same as it looks to my eye. when I was laying on the ground looking at the landscape I saw a well lit gazebo with a bright blue sky whispy clouds and the sun. So I took a bunch of frames trying to duplicate that, and never got it. Now with all this info I can't wait to try again.
I love the candor here. I can see myself doing HDR stuff in the future. right now I concentrate on getting the bratty toddlers to look into the lens.
yes I am learning but I still hold onto the notion of
"I have this wildly sophisticated little machine in my hand, I should be able to do this"
nice shot how come my accidents don't turn out like this??
thanks Dinah, I only have the small programs that came with the camera d5m2.. So post processing is my weakness. I send my stuff for clients to a pro retoucher...I still have the old school mentality where I want to get the pic to be right on film. Which is not to be arrogant, but because I honestly don't know how to fix it afterward.
Thank you for your effort
thanks I just looked up the ND filt for an explanation I'm getting one as soon as possible...
This is why I love this site
I was attempting to get the gazebo with the blue sky and the sun all in the same shot. I know this is a tall order. I didn't have the flash with me which would be my next attempt. Are there filters or lenses that can help with this. My best guess is to expose for the sky then use flash to fill the foreground????
Frame 1 shtr=2000 ap = 5.6 iso 100
Frame 2 shtr= 1000 ap = 9 iso 100
I like this trick I'm trying this as soon as possible
yes tacky shot The couple will like it but no one else will.
I like it cause it shows that it is a fun couple who was willing to try something. the light streak makes it more real. these aren't models posing for an add (if they were then you blew it) they're
people who are documenting their happiness on this particular day.
damn I miss air shows, we had one at least every other year near me when I was growing up.
thanks
