Cheyenne_Fury Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Gotta love a new camera to play with and what better subject than the pups? I'm sure my dogs cringe when they see me get the camera out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason_Gibbs Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 He looks at me when I get the camera out as if to say' oh mum not again!!" we are meeting with 2 of his brothers from the same litter today so if I get any good shots I will post them up.

PossumCorner Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Lovely head-shot, very nice. Tiny tip: pocket a couple of tissues to wipe their eyes before shooting, saves time removing eye-goop (and dust/crumbs) in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes after I saw the pic on the PC i was very disappointed that I had not wiped his eyes as I dont actually even have photoshop yet, as soon as I get a copy I will have to remove it.

If you bought your camera new you should have got a CD with it. It will have Zoom Browser and Digital Photo Professionsl (DPP) on it. You can remove those little marks with DPP :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason_Gibbs Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I took about 100 photo's yesterday at the park but I can honestly say that I do not like a single one of them - I am very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the real world of photography You'll have times like that - it's OK and normal. If you're up for it, have a look through and determine WHAT it is that you don't like and then concentrate on fixing that the next time you pick up your camera. If you're up for it, but can't quite determine what the problem is, post some and I'm sure you'll get a lot of help! If you're not up for it, just shrug it off and have some more fun with your camera next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not up for it, just shrug it off and have some more fun with your camera next time! I think the light where we were was totally wrong and the shadows just made the pics look awful. Plus the pics I tired to take of the dogs when they were playing did not come out clear because it was the wrong distance for my lens. I will post some pics up today when I get some time to upload them to Photobucket. I just did not like them at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Here are a few that I was not happy with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 OK, do you know why you weren't happy with them? Having a look at your own photos and doing a little dissection is an awesome way to get where you want to be a little faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I feel that for the last 2 - the lens is probably not correct, I only have a 18-55mm. The first one is very noisy and I think the lightening was wrong... I would love to hear others comments though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 It can be difficult taking photos of black dogs... even more difficult if you have one black and one blonde like I have - you gotta get the lighting just right AND the dogs exactly where you want them... lol! If you can afford one, I'd highly recommend the Canon 55-250mm IS lens - I paid around $300 for mine, and I love it! Oh - and I love Sports mode on the 450D - hold the button and it snaps away merrily... hehe! Gotta get at least one good shot that way... lol! Get yourself a nice big memory card too... mine is a 16Gb - holds around 2500 photos. I also have a second battery (always have a spare charged battery) - saves tears when the battery carks it and you have the dogs out doing lots of fun things... T.

CrazyCresties Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) The first thing I would say is try to get down to their level, crouching down for that first shot would have made a world of difference. And think about what is going on behind them when you take the picture, your eye kinda gets drawn to the people behind in the first shot The second one is tricky for exposure due to one half being dark and one half light, how to get round that I'll leave to the experts as I'm still learning :D I took loads of Louis the other day and thought some of these will be really nice, not particularly happy with any of them, so you're not alone Edited October 24, 2010 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
