Hi NightZ88 bro, I think the DR was too high at Noon. The pic was exposed for shadow, rather than highlight. I prefer the shadow (like the area under the chin) detail then the stone....may be a HDR will do the job....what do you think? Or do you think the DR is within the S3's sensor range?

This is scrary....nice, but like his left leg to be in...to show more impact that he is only supported by the spears...

40% is not too bad, I think. Were you using flash?

Hi all,

Here is another of Hann's pic....After A Good Cry....I was trying to capture his wet looking eye lashes....but it seems like only the effect (lashes stick together) is left, but the wet look is not very obvious....

Please give me your comment.

Thank you for viewing.

Nah, they are actually lights along a walkway. Its NTU's SADM.

The dancing girl was from Ballet under the Stars.

Oic, so you underexpose it while taking the pic or you PP?

what metering mode do u guys use? evaluative or center weighted or spot?

[lastboltnut]

I use center weighted most of the time...but when I need to meter tiny spot, then I will use spot metering.

Under it a bit. I actually took a few shots with different shutter speeds. I did a wee bit of levels to get the colours right.

Oh no...now I am viewing from my company's monitor, my Hann's pic is too bright!! I had the same prob when I was doing my Hann's shilouette pic too and cerebrus, now I can see the lamp post on you "floating light" pic.....Oh, I must go home and tune up my monitor brightness more (personally I dun like bright monitor when working on PC, except photography).....always forget to tune it back.

Sorry guys, I have to make changes to the pic, then re-post...

Calibration can be such a pain..... You should not be able to see the post that well in my picture, maybe your work monitor is a bit too bright. Are you using a LCD?
