Have You Ever Taken A Picture And Been Shocked At How It Turned Out?  | |  The other day, I took a picture of the inside of my apartment building. I was trying to get a nice shot of the swimming pool. But when I uploaded the picture to my computer, I could not see a swimming pool. I mean the space was there, but it did not look like a swimming pool to me. Has anything like this ever happen to you?

Where's The Swimming Pool? |

| | | | | | | | 1.  oneandonemakesix (24038) | 2 years ago |  Hey Rozie, yes I have had this happen to me, and I can't say its not frustrating because it is, whether its the subject moves, or the wind blows, or the camera settings are not right, or the lighting isn't right, or you see things differently
a shot like that would be better i you could have gotten up a little more and looked down a bit...not easy if you are in an apartment, but that's all I can think off.
hope your next shot turns out like you hope it does.
Mooch

| Rozie37 (7158) | 2 years ago | There is a balcony on the other side. I am going to try getting the pool from that angle. I had thought of doing it up there before. But I had just got home and was too tired or lazy to climb the steps, hehe. | |

| | 2.  thebeing (444) | 2 years ago | well, maybe you probably had the camera meter the trees in front of the pool, that's why there is no pool, but just...white. try to have that cross in the midlle of the camera over the pool, over the water itself. You will get darker trees, but you should get detail where you have none in that picture.
Hm, took a second look at the picture. Is it a crop from the original image? or...is it the ORIGINAL image? What camera did u use for this shot? what mode did you use for this shot?
And, you can use that (retaking the shot with a different metering) whenever you take a shot and see that in some parts of the photo, there is nothing but white..."colour". All camera have like a cross in the middle, and most of them have a spot metering system. if that is over a low-lighted object, it will try to bring that object to a higher grade of light, and it will do that with the rest of the picture, as well, thus resulting in overexposed areas in the picture...
Hope that will help.

| Rozie37 (7158) | 2 years ago | You must be a photographer. Thanks for explaining that. | |

|
| thebeing (444) | 2 years ago | i'm an amateur photographer... if you would like to see some of my work, you can check out my photo blog (it's on my profile, too..but here's the link: http://emtee-photo.blogspot.com . Enjoy!
And, i hope you understood what i tried to explain. Don't take it as an offense...it's just that photography has a lot of terms that are quite difficult to understand...well, like photography itself, it just takes practice.:)
So, if you didn't understand something from my previous post, please do tell, and i will try to explain again.
Cheers and good luck with your pics!:) | |

| | | 4. Anhedonia (1776) | 2 years ago |  The only thing that comes to mind right now. . .is a photo I took of my exhusband (still friend) and I took a vacation together a few years ago. He was standing in the redwoods, lots of light and shadow. It must have had something to do wih a dust mote or something, but the picture came out with a beam of light from the sky right into his heart. I still have that picture. He didn't want to look at it again, he said it was too eerie.
