Re: My little garden nymph
These are really cute. I also have a garden nymph at my house. I like #1 and #3 the best here. #1 could have a tighter crop and is slightly rotated. Several of these have a bluish cast and are slightly underexposed. Looks like you need to adjust your white balance a bit. I wonder what was running through your mind when you… -
Re: My little garden nymph
Practice Practice Practice.....try new things, get onto manual. It works so much better. I learned something on this forum that makes it all make sense.

Re: My little garden nymph
I'm just learning :) Thanks everyone for your kind words :) It was so much fun shooting with her and really a lovely location. I think i might use it for my SIL's engagement pics. My rationale for the settings... well mostly chosen out of ignorance b/c I really don't know what I'm doing and am just learning. I typically… -
Re: My little garden nymph
I'm glad you're reading Understanding Exposure. That's a keeper! I know what you mean about having a flow chart...but things have to remain pretty fluid, based on the situation. I do run through a quick little checklist in my head, though. I shoot on manual and it goes something like this (not necessarily in this order,…
