   okie.. thanks for viewing. I felt that the pics turned out to be kinda underexposed.. I used both A priority mode and manual for the pics. I use a plastic diffuser for my flash too. It seems now the lighting is coming from a much higher angle, since my working dist is only abt 14cm, it has made my pics underexposed. Take the pic of the spider, the 'butt' of it is alomost white washed but yet the overall pic is nt lighted enf. why is this so? If i increase the flash compensation or decrease the shutter speed, the 'butt' would be totally whitewashed. anyone can advise me on the techniques? Expecially for the #4 pic of the ant, taken side view against the bright backgrd, i upped my flash compensation to the max 2.0 then i can take the pic and it still feels dark. Does anyone have this prob too? Thanks. |
