  Good PM po mga sir!! Newbie lang po sa DSLR, bumili po ako last week ng Canon EOS 1100D medyo yun lang po kasi kaya ng budget eh. Medyo nahihirapan pa po ako gamitin until now. Kitlens lang po kasama nya 18-55mm lang po. Hirap pa po ako kapain yung aperture, shutter speed nung camera.
  
  Mga sir ganun po ba talaga kahit sinet ko na po yung aperture at shutter speed na gusto ko pag ginalaw po ba ang zooming ng lens automatic din po ba mag-iiba yung 2??
  
  Salamat po!!

  @mosy_24
  - congrats on new cam! if you are in M mode ideally it shouldn't change. but since you are using a kitlens. the aperture will change from 3.5 to 5.6.... kung nasa 18mm your biggest aperture is f3.5 and at 55m it will be f5.6. if your are shooting in P mode and other Autos. thsoe will automatically change even if you adjust the settings.

  Do check the Shutter count, mga buttons if it still working fine, focusing, dents kung meron baka nalaglag, bring your own SD Card, builtin flash check if working else external flash kaw...

  Mga masters, may ipapalait lang akong picture sa inyo, bale ito ang isa sa mga sample pics ng bagong bili kong flash (Nissin Di662 II). First time ko nitong makagamit ng external flash kaya napansin kong puro sablay yata ang mga kuha ko compared sa mga kuha ng ibang photogs kapag ganitong event (birthday party, indoors, with external flash).
  
  Ang tanong ko po, anong angle kaya ang tamang gamitin sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? (bounce flash) Ang ginawa ko po kasi dito eh nakatutok yung flash all the way up sa ceiling, as in straight talaga siya, kaya parang hindi ako kuntento eh. Ano pong maisa-suggest ninyo or bigyan nyo naman po ako ng tips when shooting indoors. Should I use bounce flash? Anong flash angle ang best? Should I use additional tool, like, Flash Bender? Maraming salamat po.

  Hi, Taga ibang thread ako, I've seen your question posted on other threads before. I hope I can help.
  
  

  Mga masters, may ipapalait lang akong picture sa inyo, bale ito ang isa sa mga sample pics ng bagong bili kong flash (Nissin Di662 II).

  Personally, I think it is ok. For an event like this, you can't beat your self up for something that is not in your control. For the most part, you did a good job. An ordinary snap shooter would have rendered the background really dark, you did well as your flash was balanced with your background.
  
  

  Ang tanong ko po, anong angle kaya ang tamang gamitin sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? (bounce flash) Ang ginawa ko po kasi dito eh nakatutok yung flash all the way up sa ceiling, as in straight talaga siya, kaya parang hindi ako kuntento eh.

Maraming salamat po.

  
  
  Imagine that light travels on a straight line, and it also spreads, so your call to bounce the light is a good call. because, the light spreads as it bounced off the ceiling, and down the subject. Notice how the children are nicely lighted and almost has that soft quality that most people are looking out for. As for the bee, he have a hard shadow in the back, this only means that your flash head was relatively lower than the mascot, so some of your flash hit him at a more direct way, you can either, not use the plastic cup/ diffuser to limit the light spill, or use an object block the flash going forward to limit or control the light spill. If you are close to your subject, go straight up, if you are a bit farther away, then bounced with some angle. There is no " best angle" to bounce a flash, it is always situational.
  
  Accessories are nice, but expensive. Some swear by an accessory or two. the best way is borrow and try it your self before buying one.

  Thanks for the reply RHEDD. Wala pa kasing sumasagot sa kabila medyo busy pa yata sila hehe...
  
  Actually I've seen some indoor photos na sobrang balanced ang lightning ng subject at background (Sa Jollibee rin so I assume na pareho kami ng lighting hehe) to the point na iisipin mong direct flash siya sa subject dahil uniform ang distribution ng ilaw from head to foot ng subject. Kapag naka-bounce kasi ang flash ko, maliwanag sa itaas tapos padilim naman sa gawing ibaba (as the picture above shows). ANyway, I really have to practice, experiment, and read more. Thanks!

  mga master diyan, ano po ba maganda pang PP sa .cr2 na file?
  
  first time to try Raw file e...gusto ko lang maging sharp or mas sharp pa kulay ng pics ko..
  
  salamat po!

• brentscofield on May 22, 2013 06:14 PM

  Mga master paano po mag upload ng pics dito?

• mangdomeng on May 22, 2013 10:34 PM - User is Online

  @strider8
  - *.cr2 raw files. i think canon raw files yan. you can use Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera in 1 of the CDs or you can use Adobe Light Room. pwede din Adobe Photoshop, install ka lang ng plugins para you can open and edit raw files.
