Flash would work on your camera, if you had a remote system with the TL system I think it called; Tungsten lights are your home lights the ORangeish ones.

Try One light source then, if its all tungsten put it on AWB then take a picture of an ALL WHITE surface or an (18% gray card if you have one you can buy them online) then it will calibrate all your colors.

Once you've shot a picture of an all white wall go to WB settings, and choose custom white balance find the picture with the white wall and press okay, you should be good to go for better shots.

OR as I always do is play around with my Kelvin temperature until I get something I wnat!

To Everyone:

One of the best lens for the buck is buying a 50mm 1.4, it's like 200$ if that... It has a wonderful BOKEH (depth of field) and challenges you to be creative with your intended framing...

while i can't argue that it's not a good lens (because it is)... it is almost double that price now...

i dont like posting what I do.

I just think alot of the members are shooting with like a 1/3 cropped sensor, so the 50mm would yield beneficial.

k20z3 · 08-14-2011, 03:54 PM

I love full frame, because all the lenses are the accurate on them without variable tends to make lens choices less stressful

I feel like the fourth shot is overly saturated too. As well as some of the others. Long story short I have been editing my pics on my gf's pc. Poor monitor, hard to edit. I dont really see what they look like till i post on here and check via my droid. Im no pro but I love photography. Thanks for the criticism.

You want to stray away from over-saturating anything, so dont go into saturation play with selective color !

From my beach vacation last week, actually didn't take that many pictures. Going to work on some others when I get a chance.

Yea, it would have. Didn't even think of that since I don't do them that often.

I just think it's too much negative space for this, and it's contrast yellow with blue, so pano it, and you'd have a much stronger image.
