David's Shutter Bug Club
injest:
thank you Kerry!
injest:
ok here is one I am NOT happy with....there was a very interesting vine...I was trying to figure out how to photograph it to highlight the twisty way it was growing..
first I tried this angle
blah
then I went around and looked at it from different angles and picked this section (seeing that there was no way to get the whole thing in the shot..)
and it was a little better but
so I turned on the macro again and got really close
and while this is not EXACTLY what I had in mind, I think it is the best I could do...

You know I never pressed the f button until now and now I see i can have chrome and b&w and there is also ISO choices - which is shutter speed yes? Hmm maybe not, I'll need to reread this thread.
Thanks for telling me that David!!!! I should really read the instruction manual more!!!
I dont have kids and animals but I might try sport the next time and see how that works before fiddling with the shutter speeds and stuff.
Once I ahve soem time I'm going to get involved in this - I like taking interesting photos but I'm not very good at it.
Jess - love the photo you took!

Hi Kelda! Yes, the sports scene mode might work with animals. Try it and see what happens!
The ISO setting determines how sensitive your camera is to light. The camera becomes more sensitive to light as the ISO number increases. So, higher ISO settings allow you to set faster shutter speeds and narrower apertures in dim light. So, the ISO is different than the shutter and shutter speed, but they work together as a system. Does that make sense?
But... (there's ALWAYS a "but" isn't there?) as you increase the ISO you also increase the risk of image noise. Image noise is all those little blotches, blobs, fringes and other unwanted anomalies in the picture. Some cameras handle high ISO settings better than others. According to Steve, your camera does a very good job with ISO. He said in the review that your camera can take clean pictures with ISO settings as high as 800, which is very good for a digital camera. For those of us with Canon cameras, we start running into problems above ISO 600. This is not to say that Canon isn't a good camera. They are excellent cameras and they excel in many other areas, it's just that ISO happens NOT to be one of them! :)

Jess, I think all three of those pictures are excellent! Why are you not happy with them? Maybe I don't understand what your goals were. In other words, maybe there is much more to the vine (many other parts) that I am not aware of, but the pictures are in focus and they show off quite a bit of detail. I very much like the third picture you took in macro. It almost looks like it's in 3D!! :D
Please explain to me again why you are not happy with the pictures.
injest:
well looking at them here (instead of the small window I have on my camera window on my computer I DO like them a bit...but the size and the length is lost...in order to get the detail I had to zoom in so close that you cant see the whole length and size of it...
it seems blah to me..
