HRH Princess Sophie of Colnbrookby pdbartlettComment: Woohoo - my first 5! Thanks for all the useful comments. Now to try and do even better with my new kit (and maybe invest a little more time in post-processing - forgot it was advanced rules in effect!). |

When I'm feeling blue...by pdbartlettComment: Thanks for the comments everyone - any thoughts on how you'd light it more "interestingly", though?
I went for direct overhead to avoid shadows, so I guess the idea would be to go for a main (or is the correct term "key") light from one side and some fill from the other to get rid of the shadows. Is that right?
I have an Olympus FL36R, so I really must figure out how to get it off-camera. Anyone with an FZ50 reading and done this?
Thanks again,
Paul. |

Raindropby pdbartlettComment: I thought it just about qualified as the table was being weathered, but never mind :)
At least I managed to get the background blur -- just need to be able to replicate it when required, now... Message edited by author 2008-08-05 03:44:25. |

Kitchen sink chemistryby pdbartlettComment: Thanks for all the comments.
As it was shot at ISO 100 I suspect what people identified as noise was actually an artefact of my applying USM badly -- next time I'll note the settings so people can put me right! In retrospect I should have used bounce flash or lit the scene more, though, as a there were a couple of more interesting shots that suffered some motion blur.
The background was a worry to me when I was taking the shot, but I couldn't do much about it. The aperture was already wide open, though I guess if I'd moved in a bit there might have been an extra stop at the wide end of the zoom. Anyone have any tips for blurring the background with a Lumix DMC-FZ50? I've struggled to manage it so far :(
Still, 4.1 -> 4.8 is a definite improvement... |

Halloweenby pdbartlettComment: Thanks everyone for your feedback. I wonder what the spot was, though... maybe the lens needed a quick wipe before such a long exposure. |
