theblether Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Remember I'm a rank amateur....... I went out today to get some photos at the Siam Tulip Festival and gave up as the conditions were so overcast. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would have thought overcast conditions would have been much better than having bright sun light, especially when taking pics of flowers... It would he great to see some pics of the Tulip festival ... finding it strange it would be in August??? What say you dancealot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblether Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hmmm.....well I did say I was a rank amateur. Right I'll go back over tomorrow and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlDrinkDrunk Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) try taking bracketed shots and combining them as hdr. overcast shots can provide great lighting, however only if you can manage to avoid the sky in the photos as it generally just turns into one big blown highlight. I generally stop my exposure down 1, and brighten the image later if necessary Edited August 2, 2013 by GirlDrinkDrunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Guessing theblether, did not go back? Judging from some other images posted in Isaan section ...they should be good!

theblether Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I was away for a few days to a cave monastery, ( photos to follow ) and the conditions were ridiculous!! I tried my best though I'll go back to the flower festival this week and see what I can do Edited August 11, 2013 by theblether 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samuijimmy Posted August 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2013 you make sure you do! So a bit storm heading towards Koh Phangan this afternoon, looks like a monster! taken from Maenam beach Samui. Half way to KP It's headed toward that fire! (on KP) I suspect KP got a bit of rain ! Soon after this was taken you could not see any of the island ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice background clear sky will add to the romance of the picture of a tulip, surely.. I focused on the flowers when it was cloudy instead of the sky.
