I have been messin around with some match pictures. I have this one picture from someone on here. I am always tryin to compete with it.

First off, who took this picture? If anybody knows.

Second how did you get it so colourful, I always get pictures with a ton of white in the middle, and a bit of orange around the side.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Try manual exposure so you can control it. Looks like he underexposed #1. Move the dark background farther away, too.

I know the first one is great, I was trying to get mine to look like it... But I cant find out who took it and how they took it.

So it's very frustrating.

The first one is awesome. How did you take that shot?

LOL!!


He did not take that first one. That was a winner in a contest a while back. He is trying to get the same effect/look with his shots.

The first one was most likely done with a Macro lens.. looks like 1:1 to me.

So you need a lens, or set up your lenses to get you closer to the match.

wow i really love that first one, i think the exposure is just right so taht you can get some deeper colors then if you had exposed it more, and on the balck background (im guessing as much a product of short exposure time as anythign else?) makes everything really stand out
