Yet another rural Scene!
Category: Vintage India

A weekend stay @ Mandya, where my in-laws stay, had been very productive for me :) This is the third post from pictures taken during that stay:

The pic is taken with the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L (macro) lens, hand held (peeping out of the car window), Av mode, f/3.5 and ISO-400. With a -1 EV exposure compensation, the camera returned a 1/400s exposure time. I guess, the -1EV compensation was a bad idea in the end, making the subject a little darker than I would have liked.

This time around (unlike in the 'How much is too much?' post), I refrained from doing anything extra with GIMP :) So, here it is, after minimal sharpening and contrast adjustment.

Nice one.And you are true about that -1 stop, it do appears a bit darker.

The problem with stopping the car or bike and then taking the picture of a person is that he/she tends to look at the camera. The person is here looking at the camera, and I guess the bullocks too :). Unless it is close portrait, I always feel that the person looking at the camera some how makes the picture un natural.

Is the foreground little underexposed? Or is it the settings of my monitor?

Did you not use Partial Metering? You could have just done -1/3 EV compensation, that works great with the contrast in daylight.

Dhanush: I usually use longer lenses for these portraits, so that they dont notice. but, this time, he did see me :)

Mohkum: Thnx

Dhanya: yes, dhanya. I used a -1ev by mistake :(

Dinesh: No partial metering. I couldnt check all the settings as he was about to take a turn :) I guess, no exposure compensation was required, actually.

Swapnil: Thnx buddy

Joshi: Nice to hear that from pro's like u :), but isnt this one of the worst i posted :(

Deepthi: Thnx to the money I spent on lenses ;-)
