great shot! nice bokeh and interesting subject. this shot was probably taken indoor during nite time right? care to share how you light up the subject nicely.
im really a beginner, hope to learn more how to expose correctly with a flash.

Greetings rook_1e & timc
Thank you for the feedbacks.
Yes, this shot is taken indoor at 1 U.
The following are my camera setting. Aperture priority I have chosen.
Tv(Shutter Speed) 1/200Sec.
Av(Aperture Value) F3.2
Metering Modes Evaluative metering
Exposure Compensation 0
ISO Speed 800
Lens EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Focal Length 200.0 mm
Flash On with soften diffuser
White Balance Auto
AF mode One-Shot AF
Picture Style Portrait
Using a diffuser does help to lessen the harsh lighting effect especially when one cannot bounce the flash light from the wall or ceiling.
I have used nik pro software to darken the edges on the left to create a more focus visual impact picture.
I apply what I know as discussed in this thread.

Hope this helps.

thank u artline for sharing. i tot so, ur diffuser did a great job applying a soft light on the subject.
the bokeh also great at 200mm. iso800 because of indoor. what happens if you use iso200 or 100, will it effect the quality of the picture?
sorry, have lotso question.

Greetings rook_1e
You are most welcome.
This shot is captured at around EV8.
Assuming we still set the aperture at f3.2 and in aperture priority.
Selecting ISO 100 and 200 will result in the shutter speed to be at 1/25 and 1/50 respectively and at focal length of 200mm……. IS or no IS lens sure kena motion blur one from handshake. May be of my age lah. Hand also not steady liao especially when I am aiming at a lovely moving target. Hahahaa…….
Generally speaking the limit for handheld photography without IS lens is around 1/focal length seconds. With IS its operability can improve up to 3 shutter speed correction capability but I find 2 shutter speed is more realistic to be use with the gear I am carrying.
Don’t worry too much about high ISO generating too much noise. We rarely zoom into our photo at 100% to view or print. There are plenty of noise reduction softwares around to help.
Hope this help.
Cheers

Im always afraid to take ISO over 200, considering that it might be too noisy- newby's common nightmare.
but then again, most of my indoor during nights are all blurred, dark and ugly till i never use camera at night.
another solution in not getting the people to peek our pixel and noise is to print it. heheh.. they need a magnifying glass for that..heheh.
another question: (sorry)- what's EV8? because my EV could only get to +2 or -2.
anyway, thanx for the help. i've read the thread u gave me.

Greetings rook_1e
Extracted from wikipedia
In photography, exposure value (EV) denotes all combinations of camerashutter speed and relative aperture that give the same exposure.
You can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value
Your camera has the ability to compensate the camera metered EV value by -2 to +2. This exposure compensation is used to alter the standard exposure set by the camera. We used it to make the image look brighter (+EV value) or darker (-EV value).
Yesterday I was experimenting too on this matter with different type of lenses so that I can have a better appreciation on how the camera and the lenses will perform under different lighting conditions environment with respect to different normal exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation. Most of my shots were hopeless too……… hahaha…..
Hope this is of help to you…….
Cheers
