•Ive changed a few settings as advised, but tonight pics are awful. They are not blurry but really faded and grainy grrr cant load pics as says an error occured
Not really, see Phil's comment. When you're fighting crap light the only defence experience (sometimes backed up by better gear).Can I alter it in Lightroom to make the picture better?
One of the most honestly titled photography guides I've seen is Shooting in Sh*tty Light by Erik Valind. No idea if it's any good, but I like the title!You will be all glad to hear I'm getting canon 6d book for dummies for Christmas [emoji14]
Hi Donna,
You will see some kind of grain with the ISO setting of 128000, When setting an exposure in bad light then something will have to suffer. I don't think the images are that bad for grain believe me I've seen a lot worse. (embrace the grain, grain is better than a blurry shot)
With some practice and a lot of effort you could make them into well processed crap pictures.But it was set to automatic?
Can I alter it in Lightroom to make the picture better?
Where should my WB be?
They are not blurry but really faded and grainy
The OP also mentioned blur but is likely too far away to achieve this especially with the background being so close.
Yes now I have re-read it I agree although a bit of blur could have actually helped separate the subject a bit but I do understand that's not the concern.I think you're misreading it, my reading of the OP's post was that blur wasn't one of the faults. I don't think there was an intent to create a shallow depth of field.
Definitely 1/250 rather than 1/1000 as it does not look like a high speed scene
SNIP.... the most important lesson in photography is not how to use a camera, or how to use Lightroom, it's learning to 'see' light.
ThankyouThat'd have got the ISO down to 3200, but it'd still lack definition, the background would still be distracting and there'd be no 'pop' to the subject.
Once again, the problem is 'the wrong photo', which is so often the case, and beginners become drawn to taking the perfect example of a picture that's tricky to do, and isn't even that great when done well. This time next year Donna will be taking great pictures and they'll rarely be of a pony on a line.
This is better, but here's an exercise you might fancy; what could you do to make this shot better?
Yeah I know. i only spent a couple of minutes playing on it and added the sky for something to do.The sky gives it away.
LOL i wishdcash29 is absolute photoshop master!!
I have a horse and a pony for my daughter.Completely off topic. Do you run this business or are you taking your daughter? My daughter also loves horses!!
