[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 306483, member: 24753"] A camera sees light and records it with the settings we tell it to use. Click a shot and compare how the camera saw the light with how you saw the light. DSLRs have a huge learning tool built in as we can review the settings that we used to tell the camera how to look, see and record the light. The old way was carrying a little notebook, so you could review it later. Work on the settings that bring what the camera sees closer to what you see. It's all there for every shot and if the data is on the photo you are comparing to yours, you can see if it was camera settings or something else that makes a difference between your shot and the other’s. Example of how the camera sees different: When we look at a subject (person, animal, object, etc.), we see the subject, but when the camera looks, it sees the subject and everything else. Using DOF to separate the background from the subject makes the camera see more like we see (because we were looking at the subject and didn't even know the background was there). Using a flash to light the subject differently than the background has a similar effect. Bear in mind that sometimes a photographer may be going for a vision of the mind and not the eye, but adjustments to make the camera see the same thing still apply. Mainly thinking exposure and focus controls. PP applies as well, but how the camera sees the light and records the light has to be close enough for PP to finish. [/QUOTE]
