I finally got my camera, and decided to go with a Canon t2i. This is the first photo I took earlier today, the sun was on it's way down and was limited to just my apartments.. I'm think it's okay for a first try right? I know it doesn't have a story and all that jazz but what do you guys think? Tomorrow I will go out and practice some more.
Very nice for a first-ever shot. Probably much better than my first (but that was 40+ years ago so I don't really remember). It is a full stop underexposed though. Kick the exposure up a full stop in post processing and watch what happens. I think you'll like it.
What exactly do you mean by kicking it up a full stop. Where is the done on the camera? or is that a combination of adjusting aperture, shutter and ISO? Sorry I am a noob...
What I meant was to increase the exposuse one full stop since the photograph is underexposed. It is a function of adjusting shutter speed, aperture and/or ISO when the shot is taken or by lightening it up during post processing.
How about now? I think he meant in post-processing.. I use lightroom and did .80 I thought a full 1.00 was a little too bright?
Better, but you should always strive for proper exposure in-camera. Relying on PP to 'save' a shot is a poor way to shoot.
I agree! this is my first time ever picking up a DSLR lol I've been reading the manual and everything so hopefully tomorrow is better!
Yeah! See how those blooms popped out? This is the one I corrected before I posted. It's 1 full stop exposure compensation.
