nice capture of action Kevin, have you got the exit info on this one? do you use the histogram on your shoots? reason i ask is the highlights look a tad blown out.
Way too much overexposed. Here is the histogram plot (RGB and grey scale value) of the image. It is bunched to the right end of the plot. Also I think there is motion blur because of inappropriate shutter speed.
This is a image of one of my photography students stalking a bee, in the back ground is the Black Snake Lane Coaching Inn. It was on the main road going over the Bridgewater Bridge going north in the early colonial days.
Maybe try a 1/2000th sec shutter speed, auto ISO in Manual or Tv mode. These are the 2 modes to get super fast shutter speeds and keep your images sharp. Try the settings on a subject in your yard like a ball on a post and you'll see what I mean.
I couldn't help but notice the image looked a bit flat Craig. To me it just needed a boost in contrast and colour to give it a lift.
It could have been the Hoya CS filter I was trying out, it is a clear filter with 90 degree cross hatch lines on it, similar to the ones that cause a sparkle on water shots, I had my settings on the light meter at two thirds of a stop over 0.
ISAC, this was me stepping out of my comfort zone, I have had the filter for sometime but the weather was as one of my lady students put a Gorgeous day. So I took the class out to Granton (a small suburb next to the Derwent River) for a field trip.
Some are more enthusiastic than others, my main aim is socializing and getting out as a group. One or two of the more senior students still prefer auto but getting them out and involved is my main goal.
I went out side this morning to see what was upsetting my son's chooks and found this little horror eyeballing them, it's a Brown Gosshawk, quite common in Tasmania.
Great that you are all getting out and about. I only use auto if I really get stuck, but only as a guide for the settings, so I guess it has its place. I use the "P" setting mostly for trying to get a handle on the settings. (I assume "P" is for Professional?)
I've never used P or T modes i'm always in manual with either auto iso or manual iso but then i only use jpeg
I only use the "P" mode to get an idea of what the camera thinks is a good setup for the shot, then I can use those same settings in Manual and adjust them as required, so it can be a good starting point to get you close enough. I'm not familiar with "T" mode - do you mean "Tv"? JPG is OK nowadays for web usage, so I only use RAW if and when I need to.
yeah tv , as i have the M50 i use jpeg to make the most of the buffer and to save space on my comp, + i don't have any raw editing software as far as i know, i just use PS5 to do stuff
