25 da yuan was what the red-haired lady boss said when she came with the bowl of bak cuo mee that I have ordered. I knew she had meant $2.50. A very chirpy lady boss.
I felt my picture was overexposed. Still trying hard to learn the skills of capturing a good picture with my DSLR.
The bak cuo mee was surprisingly cheap and good. The mee kia was cooked to the right texture. Most of the times, the mee kia was a little hard because the cook didn't cook them long enough.

congrats on the excellent decision of buying your dslr! hahahaha. which one did u get? ya the picture slightly overexposed. you know after u taken the picture right, view it, and press the "down" button twice, it will allow u to see whether the picture is overexpose or not
ReplyDeleteHaha...I got Canon 450D. Do the steps you mentioned work with Canon too? Or just for Nikon?
ReplyDeleteTry to keep at exposure at -0.3 to -0.7 EV. Details are lost when the pictures are blown. Exposure can be corrected using photoshop but once it is blown, the pictures cannot be corrected due to the whitish patches...
ReplyDelete-0.3 to -0.7EV will mean making the picture darker right, Fen? Will keep this in mind. Tks! :D
ReplyDeleteYup, one way to check if your picture is blown is to look at the histogram. When EV is reduced to -0.3 and below, the histogram will skewed towards the left. When EV is increased to +0.3 and above, the histogram is skewed towards the right. Both extremes are not good but once anything falls on the extreme right, it cannot be recovered via photoshop.
ReplyDeleteWhen adjusting exposure, it is important to check your metering. If you choose area metering, then the camera will take the average exposure of the entire frame but if you are on spot metering mode, then the exposure will be based on your focal point (i.e. if you focus on the darkest part of the picture, you will end up overexposed, if you focus on the brightest part of the picture, you will end up underexposed).
But then again, having said so much, I struggled when using dSLRs.
oh mine, everyone is getting a dslr, hmmm perhaps its time for mi to get one too!
ReplyDeleteanw, i tried their bak cuo mee before cuz its near my sch. and i quite love it. :)
