Hello!
Here is my picture take with my Nikon D3100 taken at 55mm, some settings were:
ISO – 200
Aperature – f/5.6
Shutter Speed – 1/1250Attachments:
Hey @jinnyschober, sorry no one ever replied to this! Here are my thoughts on the shot:
> Filled the frame very well. Compositionally, you’ve nailed it. Only what’s important is included (the subject and enough surroundings to give it context, including the other blurred out peach there in the bottom right corner)
> I can feel the depth. The background is as blurred as you could get it with that lens (assuming you were using the kit 18-55mm) and there’s even some foreground blurred on the branch there that the peach is hanging off of.
> You’ve photographed the correct side of the peach, the side with the groove, providing much needed definition on the otherwise “flat” surface
> You’ve focused properly, which is hard to do on spherical subjects like this, such that the plane of focus includes the entire front face of the subject. If it was noticeable that the plane of focus “sliced” through the center of the peach (leaving the front face of the peach out of focus) then it would appear that the entire picture was out of focus (at least in my opinion).
> You have a fast enough shutter speed that you could have lowered your ISO to 100. Grain is visible even at 200 on your D3100.
> It feels slightly underexposed to me, not because the background leaves are dark, but because the peach itself is dark in comparison to the competing highlights in the background. If the peach were slightly lighter, maybe a little more “golden” too, it would win the competition more decisively.Perhaps no one else commented on this shot because it was so good that there wasn’t much to critique about it. 🙂
That’s fine! Thank you for your comments! I edited the pic a little bit, i tried to make it a little brighter and a little more golden. I this better?
