This is the back side of sx130IS use the +/- button while taking the pic...the +/- button is also called exposure button :)

There u can increase or decrease exposure (something like brightness and darkness) of the image

oh OK. Thanks.

And guys thanks for the patience with which you all reply, even if my query appears trivial.

I am a real novice and just have started of in this field. Before I came to this forum I used to think that apperture was a word used to denote high temparature. :oops: :mrgreen:

@abhidev Yes its a Point and Shoot camera but with a lot of advanced features and 12x zoom. A step in the direction of DSLR in a P&S outfit.

Tried out @sujoyp suggestion on negative exposure.

First moon shot without negative exposure

First macro shot with flash

Flower Macro with flash by skr sx130, on Flickr


By the way, when I use flash to take pictures of people, at night, inside the house the resultant picture has a very red tone to it. Be it with the room light on or off. I cant figure out what to do. Any information in this regard?

@nac Any suggestions? And have you tried video recording. Whats your experience on that?

Kunal,
I like 2nd, 4th and 6th.

Sujoy,
I wanted to post as-is (other than cropping/resize) photos rather than edited one. And don't know how to do so, that's different :D. Here is the one as you suggested. It's edited in-camera.

Skr,

Nice flower macro...
With flash we get little realistic (skin tone of people) than with flash turned off. In general I don't use flash. I don't remember much where I have taken using flash other than people. I think you are saying that as red tone.

About video, in total I have shot around 6 or 7 minutes till date. And I shot only at HD, no other resolution. I am not much into video shooting.

Here is a moon shot I took few hours ago...

@skr the 2nd moon shot is much better...u can see many details in it :)

red tone...u mean dark pics I suppose...try increasing the aperture in aperture mode and put the flash in auto and shoot the pics as such the subject is facing the tubelight :)
And yes if u can change the metering mode to center or spot...I hope u know how to change it:D

@nac your 1st pic is in correct focus and looks good...remaining bit out of focus

your moon is again overexposed and lost much details...try negative exposure as said earlier

dont reject editing ...u have to know it...learn slowly but start learning:)

Sujoy,

It's alright, don't be sorry. And feel free to criticise.

The insect shot, I don't know where to focus. That one was not even fitting 50% of that frame. Actually I was trying to post a post (about focusing the small subject) since yesterday night in the other thread (Understanding Camera Setting). But I couldn't, there is an error. Reported, yet to fix the issue. Try posting there, whether you could able to post.

And what about the in-camera editing. Is that OK?

By red tone I mean, it looks like a mild red light is focused on the person's face. I tried switching off the red eye light. Still no use.

This is without flash

Irrespective of the person facing the light or away from it or even without the light in the room this is how the pics appear.

Made some shots last weak (Actually last year :) ). Sharing for your Critiques. I had used only one flash for these shots.

Please guide on how to improve more. Thanks.

D90+ 18-105mm @ ISO 200 S.S: 1/200 and Fstop: 16 for most of the shots. + Vivitar 285HV @ 1/16 on my rosogulla box.

Sujoy,
I posted a wrong link (first image) so the edit. And the moon shot post is bumped, not edited. The moon was shot using negative exposure -2, you can check the Exif.

Prabhu,
Congrats...

Skr,
It's normal, I believe.

Vimal,
I like the last one. It looks so nice...
