kyska Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Now, compared to a handful on here, I'm an absolute amateur, but I've been messing with my prime lens and go some nice effects.

rodp Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks, it took some doing Oh, I can quite believe that. Worth the effort in the end though Can you give us a brief run down on it, how you set it up, what lighting etc?

Fuji Shooter Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yep the last one if very good. With a few minutes in Lightroom you could easily make that saleable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it is what it is, the lens takes what you see, but such low light was difficult. When I was watching I noticed as the clouds moved out of the way the moon shone through the skylight and Yorkshire boarding, the effect was lovely, just glad we have a white horse. So, a bit of over exposure, and a high ISO, which may denature the quality a bit. The pony was watching my daughter pack her stuff away, which means a treat for her, hence the ears stood up!

Low light and a moving subject is always going to be difficult. A longer shutter speed is out as it will introduce motion blur so unless using flash a high ISO is usually the only option. A reflector may have thrown a bit of light back into the horses face giving a bit more detail, but as you say it is what it is and you can only work with what you have at the time. I like it as it is, but if I was to make any changes I'd probably just pull the shadows out a touch to see the horses eye, and possibly make it B&W. What camera/lens combo were you using?

Thanks, the flash just didn't get what I wanted. It's nothing special, EOS 450 and a cheap as chips low fstop lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I would, it's great as it is. But, it's all personal preference. Tell you one thing though Kyska, it will be a long time before you get another like that.

welsh1 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Nicely done, as said the last one is the best,a slight tweek in PS or LR and you would have it on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
