*Attempting* to Photograph Black/Really Dark Background!
Camera: Canon EOS 50D Mode: Av Aperture: F/5.6 Shutter speed: Automatic ISO: Between 100 and 500 (changed a few times) White balance: Cloudy (Approximately 6000K) Exposure: -2 So I wanted to try getting a shot at my rooster Toots with a very dark background. I took him to a place with cedar trees along our fence line where the sun didn't illuminate the background too much. Although it didn't work out as perfectly as I wanted, I'm still very surprised and happy with the results! The only two that worked very well (in achieving a dark background): I have a hard time getting Toots' colors to pop out well in photos, and this time I got his colors to come out right!
