Ehh Sniper. Nice shots. Wat did you use to digitize them?

[SniperD]

Thanks.. using a normal document scanner lor.. Canon's Canoscan N670U + a little PS work on the levels and USMed them to bring out the details

Did you scan the prints? What size are the prints?

[SniperD]

Yupz. scanned the prints. 4R sized matte.

Planning to blow them up into 10x12 for this series and see if there's any competition which I can submit

I think your serialisation of the white tiger is really good! All the best for your photo competition!

[megaweb]

your white tiger looks a bit over exposed in my monitor...

could be
- due to scanning
- too much contrast


if not due to scanning or processing , you should use partial spot metering to meter the white tiger skin ..

[SniperD]

is it? *looks @ shots*

hmm.. looks okie to me.. yeah I shot these with the generalised evaluative metering ... was just adjusting the lens on the tripod when it yawned.... so I just burst the shutter button.

thanks for the tip Megaweb, will do a proper setup if there's another visit to the zoo by CS & Canon

Paiseh Some questions for you.

Was the sky overcast when you shot the tiger? What film were you using and what speed? Do you have the readings of the shots, ie, the aperture, shutter and focal length?

I did some tiger shots on a weekday on the same week that CS had the zoo outings. But my tiger shots were kinda underexposed!

Nope the sky's bright and sunny (on our side) while the tiger's on the shady part

Aiya! me blur! Didnt see the settings written in your first post! Paiseh again!

Me didnt use any exposure compensation as I was too focused on subject framing. The tiger was moving aroud and it was hard to focus on the head!

Anyway, I was on evaluative metering on the EOS30 and using a Sigma 50-500. Film used was Provia 400F. But my shots were bad!

underexposed ? maybe u scan ur shots and post it here to let us see 1st


a few possibilities :
1. u metered something brighter than the tiger e.g. the sun reflection in the water when the tiger is in the water
2. u use manual settings and under setting ur shots
3. set wrong ISO for film used

Ok! Let me see what I can do to get the scans. May have to bring to PhotoHub for them to do the scan for me.

Heh heh! The Sigma 50-500mm is damn 'solid'. Can use 'ang pao' money to buy!
