I like the concept, but I think you need to tweak your lighting just a bit to reduce the intensity of the highlights, especially around the strawberries.

like this?

Not really, you still have large blown areas. What the scene needs is a diffuser over the strawberries to soften the light a bit.

Sorry, I didn't get it. I'm a beginner.

What do you mean "blown areas"?

If you have time, you can edit it.
But if you don't, that's fine. Thanks for you suggestions~ ;-)

Is the lighting of this one better?

 

[tirediron]

That one is better, yes. "Blown" refers to areas which are so bright that no detail is contained in them. Sort of like looking directly into a bright light bulb. Unfortunately, because there's no detail in those areas, there's little that can be done. It's not the end of the world, and doesn't mean it's a bad image, just something to keep in mind. If you read through your camera's manual, there's most likely a setting which you can activate on the rear LCD which will show you blown highlights. This usually take the form of the blown areas blinking off and on, and is commonly referred to as "the blinkies".

Appreciate it!

Thanks for your explanation~!

Learn a lot from it.

Lighting issues aside, I think I like the angle in the first one a little more.

Tirediron, I'm going to present a devil's advocate opinion here, if I can. I actually love the way it was shot, with the blown out spots, because it is so true to that feeling that we get during these moments. That early morning sun peaking into the kitchen on a crystal blue sky day can give such intensity to the light that if you sit and absorb it for a few minutes, you'll be near blind when you look back into the rest of the house. I don't think I'm puting this down in writing well, but the point is, I think this may be a case where having some blowout highights is ok.

Wow~beautiful description.



I like the blowout because it makes the strawberry look shining, and like diamonds. Maybe just I see it that way~

(Also appreciate their suggestions from a professional perspective which I don't have. )
