Ok was doing some "tests" on the colours... What do you guys think? I know its kinda underexposed. didn't add the +0.3/+0.7ev
Just testing on the colours...

honestly speaking if you want to test the colour you need to get the exposure correctly. S5pro is also know to under expose a little to avoid highlights etc.

so get it right then show us.:bsmilie:

I think this time i got it right... Thou had to brighten a little.
 

The WB is slightly off. It was too cyan.

Corrected

Thanks man... Was using auto white balance... Didn't really notice that. Where would you take your metering from? If you were to shoot this...
 

So meaning you'll either metre the blue or the clouds...?
What about exposure compension? +0.7?
 

Ok you lost me there... I'll go look it up. Gota learn a lot more on shooting wide.... Very different from shooting people

Google on the topic 'Zone System'. You will know what I meant.

Pretty much alright... Thinking of getting a F60FD to carry around. The S5 can get kinda troublesome to carry around haha. So a pns to "capture the moments" and the dslr for more "important moments" Not sure if can get the S5 to capture sharper. There are times when it can be really sharp. But at times its not.

hey dude... thanks for replying.

not sharp maybe due to the handshakes, f stops, etc? u normally set to which settings?

Don't really recall... But it usually happens when doing wide angle. I guess its just me being fussy. Because once upload to flikr it looks fine. Its just a very soft camera. And i don't like to pp. A lecturer once said to me "The best photos are the one's that doesn't need editing". Thats when i was still schooling. And another quote that i personally favor is "Less is more" How's your S5 coming along? I was considering of getting a 2nd flash to experiment.
