Close Up Filter Study - Part 1 Metering and Light Compensation

ความพยายามครั้งที่สองค่ะ ตอนนี้สิ่งสำคัญที่เปลี่ยนคือ metering และเพิ่มแสงให้เว่อไปประมาณ 0.7 stop ค่ะ ขาตั้ง รีโมท และ f/8 ชัดแต่แบคกราวน์ยังเบลอได้สวย

 

 

 

 

This is my second attempt with the filter and found the following helpful tips:

Ingredients: Nikon D40; 55-200mm AFS-DX lens (non-VR lens), Canon 500D Close-Up filter; Tripod, Remote control. (I don't use flash -- just personal preference)

How I Did It This Time: The yellow rose right here, I used metrix metering. At f/5.6, speed 1/250, ISO 200 the picture was very soft and I have to use unsharp mask in Photoshop to sharpen it quite a bit.

Then I changed my metering mode to: SPOT and CENTER-WEIGHTED and didn't see much difference.  The picture is much sharper as seen here in the peony flower shot.

Another thing is that if I increase light compensation by +0.7 stop, my picture is much brighter.  The comparison here is before and after light compensation.
