Sorry about the double post. "Lord your buttons are so small and my thumbs are too big"
Ok guys, thanks. Got my question answered.
Thanks, Dave. In your case you don't put them out for public consumption, however.
I would like opinions on something that bothers me a little. I follow a Facebook group that is about old times in a state that is predominantly old photographs. There is an individual who doesn't post his own photos but is an absolute genius in "hand coloring". When he colors a photograph that he gets from an online source, he gives the photographer credit and claims credit for the coloring, which is fine. Often though, there is no photographer credit and it leaves me with the feeling that he is subtly claiming credit for the image as well. To be fair, he often gives the date of the photo which, with a little math, makes it clear that he was not the original photographer. These images must be in the public domain so I'm not claiming he's doing anything illegal. As someone who has had images stolen, and someone who cares about protecting photographer's rights, this lack of clear disclaimer that it is not his original, rubs me the wrong way. Legit or am I making much ado about nothing?
Thanks Gene. I got a bit confused because in my head I was thinking of a posed group shot, not anything moving. Your explanation is very helpful.
I don't understand why not. Could you explain please?
That's what I thought. As I shoot manual, that would be my choice and then use the other variables to obtain my desired depth of field and exposure.
Thanks.
A question begats a question. Doesn't using multiple focal points cause the autofocus to search and acquire constantly thus making acceptable focus in a group shot less likely?
Nobody has yet suggested "The Joy of Photography" updated digital version.
You have received a lot of great suggestions but to me, CHG Canon's #3 was the best. A tripod will eliminate the camera shake variable. From there, given the same scene and lighting conditions, a methodical exploration of the results of different settings and combinations will give you a feel for the mechanics of your gear. Once you are comfortable with that, other things will come more easily.
I don't want to call the guy out and make an enemy, I was just curious. Personally, I would always a knowledge that it was another's image, even if I didn't know who's.
He doesn't State either way. He has, on occasion, given credit to photographers but is silent on the issue most of the time. He probably gives credit when he knows.
