bitaw, i agree... tired of reading all those, "wow nice capture master", "wow ganda ng model", "nice bokeh"... unsaon pag-asenso kung puro nalang nice... peace sa uban...

naa man sa`y uBan na d aU nice ang comPosiTion but naHadLok lang mo-suLti.. hadlok cgUro sa phoTograpHer mismo.. hehehehe!

kung ablihan nimo sa photoshop .. makit-an nimo sa histogram ... ang data kay more on the right side.

depende sa imong digicam kung maka view ka sa iyang histogram, ang data kay pabor sa left side.

maadjust nimo iyang exposure using curves/levels using photoshop and other photoimaging tools ... lahi ra sila term
pero ang idea the same.

mas maayo e post ang photo aron mahibaw-an kung naa pa bay chance e adjust. kay kung underexpose ug 2 or more stops kay grainy na ang resulta.

anything wrong with post-processing?

post-processing has been part of the photographic process since time in memorial. as technology changes so does the technique in post processing.

if your shooting negatives... then you will be using darkroom with all the chemicals in it(makadaut sa kalawasan)... if digital and you want free picassa(user friendly) and gimp i choose the latter kay much more like photoshop... or use the software that comes with your camera...

I wanted to focus on the wilted areas of the flower on this. The 50mm prime did a great job at it imho.

Camera: Canon EOS 450D
Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10)
Aperture: f/2.2
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 800

im not an expert i am just a noob just like sa uban pipol... pero share lang sad ko sa ako gusto isulti....

good composition, i think kana left nga laya sa luyo is a bit distracting sa ako taste... it divides my eyes sa subject... and little bit of color saturation will make this image pop-out but if i go with the title then its enough... overall good capture... :mrgreen:

mao rana i hope dili ko nimo atangan sa gawas... hehehehehehe joke

comments:
i believe this photo is captured with low-light source, as the shutter is 1/10 and the iso is boost already to 800 which is very awkward.

critic:
- composition would be better if the angle of shoot is lateral to the subject to show more of dead flower and leaves.

- more bokeh if pushed more open to f1.8
- manual mode / aperture priority ~ this shoot was taken with shutter priority
- have to understand the use of shutter / manual / aperture modes and when to use

Keith more flower shoots please CHEERS!

Focal length, distance between focus subjects and background is also a factor for DOF.
I normally shot at F7.1 - F16 in sunlight conditions and I still get good DOF.

F1.8 is too low for me for portraits, I prefer F4 at 50mm on my Nikon.

Its' just my 2 cents
