A couple of candids
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 10:03 amTook these with a KM 7D on the weekend. They have few technically redeeming features! Ruthless critiques are welcomed, nonetheless.

50mm, 1/20 @ f/2, ISO 400, flash off.
<b>catch!</b>

28mm, 1/2000s @ f/4.5, ISO 400, flash off. Apart from not chopping off her leg (I didn't expect her to fall so far in the sequence!), I should've dialled in some +'ve exposure comp & lowered the ISO; shadows were lightened in PP. I would have liked to use some fill flash but lacking an external unit, didn't trust the built-in to recycle fast enough.
I'm still not familiar enough with the camera to make the quick adjustments that are often second nature on my D70. Yes, I am thinking of switching -- bloody hard decision, though, and one that I won't rush.

Nice image cleverly playing with the composition.
