ruthless Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I tried out my new lens on Sun and it was a very sunny day. I found all of the shots taken in the shade needed to be brightened up in photoshop and some were so high contrast that I couldn't fix them. Any tips? [i have a Canon30D and it was set on auto] The pics are here. The ony one I'm really happy with is the boy with the stick. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...view=getnewpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Where did you get the lens, Ruthless? I need to start shopping around for a new zoom. Last one died from mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Oooh, can't remember, online but the details are in my home email. Will check later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Put it on P mode instead, and increase the ISO. Or be brave, put it on AV mode, put it on the maximum aperature and the camera will set the shutter speed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Raz I got it from here http://www.are-jays.com.au Thanks Tess32, I'll try your suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 What lens did you get, ruthless? I can't afford a real good one at the moment. Don't use the auto setting as you won't have access to other controls. As tess said, shove it on P mode to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I go the Canon 70-300 with IS, it was about $825. It was a very belated birthday present from my OH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I would use a flash for the people shots to take out some of the shadows on their faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 So, is it best to use this lens in soft light? Or did I get those results because I was in Auto mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks Ruthless. I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 you can get cheaper on ebay from HK, but i didn't want to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Generous OH, ruthless. I'm hoping my OH will buy me a wide angle lens for Christmas. Why are hobbies so expensive? My dive equipment costs a bomb too and I can't afford both hobbies I've discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
