Trying out new E-420 - PhotoCamel

highker · 05-09-2008

My first DSLR using kit 40-150 at 150mm, f4.5, 1/180, ISO 100. Flower in my backyard, late afternoon with built in flash used. Shot in RAW, converted to jpeg and resized to fit here. No post processing done. Critiques?

OKAY, I don't know how I got 2 images in the thread. Please ignore one, they're both the same.

I think this shot has promise but the light seems quite uneven from top to bottom and in the corners. Maybe a result the inbuilt flash?

Thanks for the feedback, Paul. I'll get an external flash soon and that might improve the lighting. I took the shot of the snapdragon with the 150mm setting on the zoom lens in order to blur out most of the background, so it was probably about 7 ft away.
