SirEvan Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm not very good at taking pictures at this point. I'm weening myself off Auto mode and doing some experimenting with different settings to get used to the camera. Being at school makes it difficult to find time to take pictures, but I have a bunch from my bedroom in my apartment (usually around sunset when I'm bored with programming).Here's a shot of Ithaca, NY (from my apartment). I just liked how the sun poked through the clouds like a spotlight. The pictures from that window don't come out well because there's a screen that I can't move. Cyberia, My recommendation to you would be to shoot in Aperture priority mode (A) if you have it. that way you can select a aperture, and just let the camera worry about the shutter. You'll have more control over your pictures depth of field (how much is in focus) and yet still be pretty much automatic. When you shoot in P mode, the camera just comes up with an aperture and shutter speed it likes, but you don't have much control over it. if you shoot in A mode, a good all around aperture to use is f5.6, f8, or f11. the lower you go (4,3.5,2.8, etc) the closer you bring the focus point, and more of the background will get blured....which is good for portraits, but not landscapes.. for landscapes, use something like f11-f22 Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEvan Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 If you're going to get a tripod get a really decent one.. not some cheap piece of plastic.. the sturdier, the better. most pro camera stores sell really nice ones, but they range from 80- 150$... they'll take a beating and keep on....well..you get the idea... they're top notch tho, and will last you a long time.
