I'm starting to realize that photography can be a very humbling thing. The more you learn, the more your realize how little you actually know
The new contest topic got me thinking about this picture even more today (sorry I know I've already started a thread about it)....
1/250
ISO 250
f/5.6
If my goal is to get the dark black silhouette like the post editing picture below, what should I have done different in the camera settings. My thoughts were (assuming I was steady or had a tripod): Leaving the ISO the same (or increasing it); Decrease aperature size; Decrease shutter speed. My thoughts on this are that w/ a smaller aperature, only the brightest portions of the picture would be properly exposed leaving the tree darker.
I was thinking this would fall under the same concept as this picture. Taken w/ a ring flash, 1/250, ISO 1000, f/45 in which only the ball was exposed and nothing in the background. Am I thinking about this correctly?
