so I just wasn't as perfect as I thought .
My first day of photography class I learned bokeh when we covered depth of field. ( 4 weeks ago) I didnt think Id ever hear or see that word again. So my entered photo was in compliance. ( I forgot to give it a name or description though)
I would save them, burn a dvd , or something because as said when you least expect it that hard drive may crash and everything will be gone
IM learning, I took a few pics and continually changed the F stop , had I had more time I probably would have gotten it where I wanted it. Now that I know to use the filter and which one, I'll be a lot further along.
great shots they are so close I think I can see the fleas walking on them.
thanks for the input, what I usually do is take the shot, look at it in the viewfinder then change shutter speed and "f" its better if I know where I should start, and then go from there. I know now to add the filter and start from there. like I said Im learning . some times I get it right and sometimes I get what you saw above. Some day I hope to be able to look at a scene and make all the correct decisions in my head before I start. I guess it comes with time.
IM using a Nikon D5200, I like it,
I wanted to create the silky effect when waves crash on a beach. I set the shutter to 1/5 and F20 100 iso.
Its obvious when you look at the pic there is too much light,
My camera goes to F36 and I assume I should have tried changing settings some more but I was out of time and had to leave. I also have filters nd 2 4 & 8 ( never used them yet)
so on a bright sunny day what settings would you have used? as usual any help is much appreciated.
HI thanks all, Sailorsmom, Horsham, is just around the corner, Im in Hatboro
Thanks for the replies now to dream up something new... hummm
Great pic and now Im laughing after reading "wing it"
love the images but hate the subject matter
This photo is NOT a reflection from the candle. I froze a bottle of water, drilled a hole in the bottom, cut away the plastic and put a candle inside the ice. The candle promptly went out so I drilled holes in the back for air. I placed it on a black sheet and then processed the image to remove the folds in the cloth.
I couldn't get the flame to look as good as I wanted when I did I lost some of the contrast in the ice. But it is what it is.
HI welcome, Leesburg Fl,Im in Pa but I know it well, used to spend a lot of time there over on High Street just off of 27 .
The water colors are a giveaway as to depth. You can see that it has gotten very dark meaning its deep.
Or if your a sailor and you come to one Dark round spot in a light sea, thats a coral head.
