Alright, so here are my two images....
These were actually taken one right after the other, but the focus on one was different than the other. One, I held down the button and let it focus first, the other I just let it take the picture quickly. Seemed to make a big difference in the lighting, but the lighting is exactly the same. The camera just focuses better and allows for a better picture when the button is held down half way and things get into focus first. The second image shows a lot more shadow than the first one as well. The flash was on for both of these and these two were taken at the same angle. I took other pictures (slightly different poses) in the same room from different directions. These came out different as well, but I thought it was interesting that these were so different, yet taken from the same vantage point. I think that the one that is brighter looks much better, and go figure, its also the one that I allowed to focus.
Are you sure that the flash fired on the second shot? Some cameras require a couple seconds for the flash to become available again after using it. Can't imagine that not focusing correctly should change the lighting that much. Seems like it would be as bright as the first but not as sharp. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it didn't? But I don't know why it wouldn't have. It was on automatic and the flash should have gone.

ReplyDeleteNice job on the perspective here. My guess is the flash was not on in the second one because the ambient light is producing the shadows. So one shot with a flash and one without...I'm surprised the dog is so mellow what a sweetheart...
