~Arcanic~ · 6th March 2005

erm, well... i think ur photos are quite, erm... kinda flat(?)
it doesn seem to bring out any impact, but the colours are nice though,
i sort of like #5. =)

sorry if it seems kinda harsh, I'm not any pro either, just sharing my thoghts.

Arcanic :

Sky's the limit might make a good wallpaper if you underexpose it more.

if you are using a D70, you don't have to really meter against a bright object, cos if u meter it against somethign too bright, ur pic will get seriously underexposed...

I'm not a nikon user, but I believe the D70 should allow you to adjust your exposure 1/3 or 1/2 stop less by turning e dial... do check out the manual or ask some D70 users here. =)

sorry can't help u there, cos I've been a canon follower... hehe

but if i use EV compensation, the whole pic will be underexposing leh

By adjusting exposure to -0.3EV or slight more, the sun will not appear too harsh. Details in the buildings should still be there. Next time you take this shot, try taking a few different combinations to get different effects.

~Arcanic~ · 7th March 2005

Hmm, I tot the idea is to underexpose it?
by metering it against a bright object or by adjusting the ev compensation,
u achieve almost the same thing..

perhaps just adjust it a bit lower, not too much and see the different effects and see which one u prefer..? =)

#3 is nice, but a bit underexposed.

w.s · 7th March 2005

wainism · 9th March 2005
