Sigma 70-200 /2.8 APO EX DG Macro HSM II

09/16/2008 01:03:57 AM · #1

So I went to Canada and now I am back in Japan. I had little time to set anything up, no light stand or umbrella. Was working with what I had and with little daylight. Anyways, here's the first series of shots I took. I did PP to them, but I'm hoping for some constructive criticism as I'm not all that happy.

In general they are very nice... a couple things I would do if editing them.

a) straighten them
b) crop to just the gazebo... the rest is distraction
c) brighten them up a bit (with the exception on the second one
d) sit back and enjoy the memories of the trip :)

hope that helps a bit

I plan on putting them in a hand made album. I have to edit all the pictures I took of the family and then crop them all the same.

The second picture was done during the last few minutes of actual sunlight.

I'm curious why you chose not to bump the ISO up instead of dealing with such slow shutter speeds? You stuck with ISO 100 and one shot was done with 1/10 of a second shutter speed.

Noise issues above 100?

No particular reason. It was rushed. Other photos are better. This series just happens to be dark.
