Thanks dude for ruining it for me 
I've noticed in my shots I get really annoyed with shadows and tend to up the blacks / shadows too much, making my photos flatter than they should be. I'm working on it though. GE gave me some ideas that I should try. |
Problem with shadows..Try using a bit of fill flash or bounce some light off a card into the shadows..try this as a learning experiment.. put a bunch of flowers or a figurine in the bright sun...notice the light and shadows...then hold a piece of paper in such a way as to bounce some light into the shadows...notice how much better the light looks now that you have reduced the excessive contrast...play around with this and try to remember this when you shoot..
Also look at any woman's magazine with outdoor shots....ever notice that in a bright show like a beach for example..the face still looks smooth and they are not squinting..that is fill flash.. They put there backs to the sun and use flash to light the face...the trick is to add just enough to fill and not flood.. Try it and let me know how it works out...
