Av mode
hand held
flash off
white balance set to tungsten
shutter speed 1/4 second
f stop 4.0
exposure compensation -1.0
if I remember correctly ISO 100 or 200
This is the first shot I am happy with out of the new 450D - entirely not the camera's fault. I was trying to follow the rule when shooting stills or something you want to get huge detail out of, use the lower ISOs. it was either 100 or 200 I was getting lots of camera shake hand held. I have a tripod but was too lazy to bust it out.
exposure compensation I just started to figure out how to use. the cat stayed for about 100 pictures in this pose, I was playing with everything from the isos to the flash to the aperature, trying to manual focus at points, playing with the white balance.
shot in raw, zero editing other than to transfer to .jpg.
Anyone have any tips on editing this with the Canon software, or comments in general? Maybe just take some stuff out of the background like the computer chair legs?
Very pleased with the capabilties of this camera. the mode to shoot multiple exposure compensations is cool.
