Title: Beautiful Gottstein - Burgundern ensign
Post by: snagy on November 01, 2015, 12:12:13 PM

The figure would have deserved much more painting knowledge...
However that is all what I could add...  :(
But the figure is wonderful!

Hi Sandor
I feel something interesting but the picture is very dark; could  you try to make it clearer ?

I think that you take your pics from too far away, with a general WIDE focus area for the light, and the white backgound here absorbs all the light,underexposing totally the front subject which is then black. 
Select rather the light focus area on the camera only at the center point, narrow, and focus the center square (or circle) on the front subject, unless white, better dark or coloured, not the backgound, and your pictures will be perfect !  It will adjust the light of the subject correctly !!

Taking the advices of Michel, here is the new picture:
(the background is beige now - maybe a bit better...)

Thank you, Eric!
Actually the figures look much better in the reality - it is very hard to make real good picture!
Best regards-

You temptate me more and more Snagy, but so hard to find ....
Yes, go on, quality improves, and take you pictures with more space around to avoid zooming on small detals too much !
Give a biy of lightenings and shadows on the horse as you do for the knight, as I see also no shadow of your light source on the floor ...
