Where are you going to shoot? I tried two so far, not very interesting, compared to the ones I go to last year.
I will be shooting at this saturday:
王雷/林茹萍/皓皓
韭菜芭城隍庙-Arumugan Rd (Behind Geylang Police Station)
intending to do my 1st time shooting getai this weekend.
Any photography tips? Ideal iso/camera settings from experience?
I am shooting mainly in AV and manual mode.
For AV, my setting is f4, ISO 1600
For manual my setting is f4, ISO 1600, shutter speed 1/250 when using my Olympus 200mm f4 lens and f4, ISO 1600, shutter speed 1/160 when using my Canon 135mm f2 lens.
As u can see my preference is at aperture f4. So your preference may varies.
The reason why i am using f4 is because I don't want to use too high ISO because the smaller aperture you use, the higher ISO will be required in order to get the correct exposure. And too big an aperture u use, the DOF will be too thin which makes it hard to focus when the singers move. So for me f4 is just nice. Although f5.6 is still fine but I still prefer f4.
