To my utter disappointment, most of these pictures turned out really grainy, or noisy. Ivy and I had a really rough time trying to get the proper lighting, as it was already an overcast day and our only good lightsource was from one main window…while the filler light was incandescent lighting from Ang’s living room. So we had a mixture of lighting colour that wasn’t working out so great - making some things look orange while the other parts were not; as well as trying to work with quickly fading natural daylight. I figured I’d play around with my camera’s ISO and shutter settings…but did so, in the wrong way. </span></p> <p><span>Oy vey. Man, do I have a lot to learn.</span></p> <p><span>Sadly, my friend’s makeup trial photos suffered and the only captures I can give her have these grainy results…but since then, I’ve done more research about low lighting situations and camera settings, and am planning on practicing these things out this upcoming Easter weekend with the fam. Hopefully I can work it out, so that the next time around I can avoid these type of results.</span></p> <p>So sorry Angela. I’m quite disappointed with the grainy results and not so sharp focus in these photos…but these are some of my favorite shots nonetheless from a fun day! Thanks for letting us work on you.</p> <p><span> </span></p> <p><span> </span></p>http://theshyphotographer.tumblr.com/post/46345130492http://theshyphotographer.tumblr.com/post/46345130492Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:56:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltf8w2mIiy1qbbsvxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltf8w2mIiy1qbbsvxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Easy, laidback, cottage living!
