2 Shots With Canon EOS 30D (opinion! :) )

[manofwow]

Hello guys

Yesterday i used my friend's Camera to shot some friends and i picked up those 2 shots hope u like it .

Actually the main problem that my friend ( the camera owner) didnt need me to shot at super fine large mode

both at small and fine.

The Lens used is 18-55mm

1-focus on the gun

2-well i focused on him and make him jump and then shot .

Besides that i didnt edit any of'em
Thanks.

#1 is pretty good. You have light coming from behind him in opposite directions which shows good detail on his arms and the gun and gives a strong sense of depth. Personally, it bothers me to have a gun pointed at me, but perhaps that adds a particular edge to the photo which makes it stronger.

#2 is crap. Seriously though, it's underexposed and too warm for my taste. The tone and detail of the background is demanding more attention from me than his small detail-less black figure. Had you put him in a plain area instead of having a very strong line bisecting him, it may have been more effective.

You will be amazed if i tell u that i totally agree with about the 2nd photo

i just looked at the viewfinder then shot and then preview it at the camera screen it looked good but in the computer it looked really CRAP

What was your aperture set at on the first photo?

well actually it was in auto ( the owner of the camera was really afraid to make me siwtch to manual modes IDK why )

but if u want manually control it u can set the apert. to the lowest F/Stop (biggest opening)
Also u can ask the forum experts , they will tell u for sure. (I am Still Newbie)

BTW i was physically close also to shot it , u should consider this too.

Thanks
