here are some of the shots. ANY help would be appreciated.
just for the record....i'm not looking for a compositional award here, just looking for propper exposure and how to get it.
i ended up just using tungsten auto for the w-b. because my manual selection wasterrible.
the first photo from what i like to refer to as my yellow period. this was my manual wb first and last attempt.
1/100 f5.6 iso3200
1/40 f4.5 iso 3200....needed more shutter speed but the light looks better..probably over-exposed?
same thing again here....wanted small aperture but had to go to 4.5 b/c of light so i had to compensate with slow shutter speed (1/40) not sure what i was thinking.
so to bump the shutter spped up into the 1/200 range i had to up the iso to 6400. 1/200 f5.6. it still sucks, but better than the first one i posted i guess. i'm wondering if the 6400 is too noisy.
same numbers on this next one except at iso3200. i was really trying for the leg over the face shot. it came out just as i hoped.
thanks in advance. again, total newb stepping into slr. trying to figure this out one step at a time. i just felt like the whole night i wanted to be in the 1/200 range but didn't have enough lens. funny how little light was actually there. i never would have believed it.
here aer two shots from the paper. not sure what his exif info is. the guy had a better seat (on the mat)...i guess that helps. if i had that seat i could've used my 1.4. any idea on what he was doing?
