Keldyn buys a Digital Camera

[youm0nt Veteran]

see, what's with the quality man... it was taken @ 1600 x 1200 Superfine.

help me...

awesome shot :woot: :woot: :woot: :yes: :yes:

[Keldyn]

keldyn how did you take the sunset shots without the sun looking crappy and overpowering the rest of the colours in the image?

Now that's a very good point Spyder. I guess the lighting just happened to be right... I did not do use any special settings to take those shots. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

aaron: Set your camera to use long shutter and set the ISO speed to 400. This will allow as much light as possible to get the shot you want. It is important you keep the camera VERY steady. A tripod is a must for night shots and do NOT use the flash.

how to set it to use long shutter?

yeah i've set the ISO to 400 and didn't use flash... but result is bad... :(

[Keldyn]

Ok, with the camera in an active state (ready to shoot) hit the menu button and scroll right down until you see what looks like a pic of moon and stars. That is the long shutter mode. Set it to yes.

thanks! :) long shutter is used when taking night shots yea? so that's the problem?

see, the quality is just disappointing.. can you see what causes this?

I though for the 4th of July I would post this picture I took last week. The people dress it up for EVERY occasion you can think of.

I ordered a Sony DSC-P92 from Dell for $326 (had a $49, $40 and $50 coupon), its 5 megapixel. Can't wait for it to get here!

[username]

wow, thats an awesome deal for 5mp for that price, i hope you get it, as i know Dell reserves the right to cancel any order it wishes

check out this panorama shot i did today WARNING 1.5megs

had to compress it down a good bit, looks a lot better when you view it shrunk down... pretty cool though (Y)

username you bought the a70 right? did you use the photostitch prog with that picture? how many pictures was the original?

the more you turned to the right, the more the sun must have been in the pic eh? the reflection off of stuff is pretty bright white. i found that when the auto white balance was having a problem, that if i pointed the camera up at the sky, then brought it down to the target, the white balance would auto adjust perfectly

[username]

yeah, the A70, i used Canons photostitch, awesome program just started using it today, it was 6 pictures

man i MUST get a larger CF card, i am hurting :laugh:

i hear you about the the lighting, my sister knows a lot about photography (college art major or something) she says its really tough to get decent pictures when the light goes through trees withough losing the color.. or something :wacko:

[Spyder Veteran]

i have a 128 mb one in mine right now.. says i can take 138 pics at full res on fine (not superfine). 128mb is perfect :)

yep..very hard. this trick seems to work tho..or at least it did with my photo of the tree a few pages back

[username]

another try, this time using a tripod (hard to do by hand, i was always going downhill)

[oateater]

Heres a few pictures I just snapped in my back yard with my Dad's Olympus c-4000 zoom digital camera. Let me know what you think, or what I could do to improve them :)

[Keldyn]

username: I love that garden shot. It is fantastic.
