That's because I've only had the K10D for a week and previous to that, I was using a KX, so here's a quick shot of a flower.

Simple pop-up flash, Tamron 28-200 at 200, F10 and I hosed the flower down just before I took the shot.

Pulled straight from the memory card.

Stupidity and trolling will always be part of /p/ and 4chan, so get used to. The good thing about it is that you'll always find sincere (even that overreacted) opinions about your pictures. If you want false compliments, go to flickr.

and your pic sucks, btw.

>> Anonymous

Actually, I'd say your picture has everything it should have to make it a very nice flower shot. You did the water-sprinkling trick, used a decent camera with a decent lens, even used additional lighting to help the scene. All fine and dandy, but allow me to tell you the problem... you did it all wrong.
>> VF-19
>>203654


Great, now tell me what I did wrong, instead of simply telling me that "it sucks". And I think a simple crop would probably do the trick.

>>203650

No I won't run like a sissy. At the least I'll prance.

But I won't go to Flickr/DA, as it's just as bad...
>> Anonymous
>>203656
No, the crop won't do. One thing is that the angle is -very- common. It's where you usually see flowers from: straight from far away or above it looking down. Tiny little red patch in the ground or in a huge vine. It's been done many many times. Try looking at it from a different place or pick a more interestingly-placed flower, but try to avoid that kind of shot. Try filling more of the frame with the flower.

Lighting-wise, the problem is that youre using on-camera lighting, which gives that really strong/overexposed effect. It's generally tasteless unless you compensate for it carefully. Soft lighting such as that you can get with a lightbox off-camera flash, a reflector (as cheap as a sheet of aluminum foil) outside of the camera's field of view could help light it.

About the water sprinkling, I read it in that Digital Photography book, perhaps you got the idea there. That effect is exploited the most if youre able to give the drops an important role in making the picture more beautiful. Hosing down the plant added water, but the drops left on the flower are huge. Big drops might work, but because of the framing this time they didnt carry out their effect too well. Again, a closer angle of view could help.

Another thing you could do with that lens is kneel down to the flower's level and shoot from its right or left, so that the distance between the flower in focus and the vine/hedge is farther out of focus, increasing bokeh for a more pleasing background.

Is that better? :)
>> VF-19
TLDR
>> VF-19
>>203658

Great!

Will try it on other flowers.

Problem is, is that the 28-200 doesn't have a very very close focus distance. I think one of my other lenses (my 50 1.4 goes down to 45 cm) should do the trick.

Also, that flower isn't very big to start with, it's only about 2 cm across.
>> Anonymous
>>203660
lol

>>203663
I see. Yeah, the 50 could work. In short really, try stopping before shooting, and look for a better angle for the picture. Primes are great for learning this.
>> VF-19
>>203665


Uhh... "TLDR" wasn't me. I don't even know what it means. But since you LOLed, I'm guessing it's either bad or funny.

Like I said, I'm a fair noob when it comes to photography, I only got into it since last year, and even then only infrequently.

I got the K10D so that I could get quicker pictures, and not have to worry about running out of film.

Because that's what hard drives do best.

Die at the worst possible moment.

I don't even want to think about backing up my drives... 3 very big ones, and a small one just for the OS (for reformat and re-instilation of the OS convience).
