injest:
a couple of examples of using different techniques.
The difference between THESE two pictures is that in the FIRST one I focused on the fence and just took the picture....but in the SECOND one I focused instead on a darker area of grass up on the hill and holding the button at the half way mark I turned and framed up the picture before I pushed the button all the way...
My Colors Mode Vivid
Tv (Shutter Speed) 1/60
Av (Aperture Value) 7.1
ISO Speed 80
this picture was taken with auto settings...
and this one with manual
My Colors Mode Vivid
Tv (Shutter Speed) 1/500
Av (Aperture Value) 5.0
ISO Speed 400

It was very hot in Sydney today, so I stayed indoors in an endeavour to keep cool.
I wanted to take some pics but only had limited subject matter available.
Decided on taking several pics of my Buddha, this being my favourite.
Later in the afternoon a thunderstorm swept in and lowered the temperature considerable. It brought a lovely sunbeam show with it. I took several pics but this is my favourite, with a little bird hurrying home to her nest ahead of the storm (may be necessary to scroll over --->).
Alas, both taken on auto! :)

I liked the first park pic most; that is, the darkest, most atmospheric pic of the three. Spooky! :o

Thanks Kerry! Are you referring to those pics about ISO settings? I really wasn't trying to shoot a nice pic. I shot those three pics in a 5 minute time period. I was trying to illustrate how the ISO can affect a photograph and I didn't really worry about composition or anything like that. I shot them to help prove a point. But I'm glad you liked them. :D

Thank you Kerry! Give it a try and then please post the picture(s) so we can see the results! :D
I love your Budda picture Kerry. It looks like you have a prayer wheel and everything! And I also love the lighting you used in the photo. It really sets off the colors! I love your sunbeam picture too! You are very good at photographing those! Good job buddy!! :)
