F40 again *Slight 56K warning
-
Took these "studio" photos with my new EOS 400 (Influenced by Hexy... heheh
)
I apologise for the dark edges in the background, my box isn't spacious. he visible box in the first photo was done deliberately... or for fun... lol
Constructive criticism welcome. I'm still not very familiar with it and I'm no photography prodigy.

haha who stil use 56k now

like yr first pic.
notice that all yr pics have only one area of focus, leaving the rest of the parts not focused and becoming very blur. this is due to yr aperture settings. u used a rather low f-stop of below 8. try using soething higher than 8.
for example yr third pic, u used 1/5sec for shutter speed and f5 for aperture, notice that yr background is totally blurred. try using something higher than 8, probably 11 or a bit higher, but take note that the higher u go, the smaller yr lens will open, causing less light to be captured and u have to use a faster shutter speed.
colours are gud. great attempt -
Hi bro, welcome to the 400D club!
Your first pic is great!
However, some of the other pics are not focused porperly or are blur..
Try doing the following:
1) Use manual focus point selection, and select the middle to be the focus point for the autofocus. Then u can choose which area to focus, instead of letting the camera choose for u.
For eg, for the engine shot, u can focus on the front part of the engine, which will be the first place the viewer will look at. But u focus in the rear instead.
2) Use a tripod to elimate blur.
3) If the camera cannot focus, dont force it to take the picture. Reposition the camera further away frm the model..
I feel that the f-stop of 11 and above is ok, as the higher the number (smaller the aperture), the more the whole car will be in focus.
Also u can improve on the framing more.. Try to have an area of interest.
For eg in ur 7th pic, there is no area of interest. If you like to showcase the rims, u can zoom in more, as other parts of the cars are 'disturbance'..
You set the colour saturation to maximum? Colour is rich, which is nice! haha..

haha o ya, mixed up the aperture. always not gettin it right. coz i used a rather high aperture during the first SGDC outdoor photoshoot, turn out the background blur.Originally posted by HeXy:Hi bro, welcome to the 400D club!
