A question about camera settings

steve40 wrote:

No one should ever use the crutch of automatic, to try to learn anything about camera settings, and exposure.

To start with proper exposure has nothing to do with learning settings, but how to apply them. That is only learned by studying things like light and shadow, exposure, and other boring things like that. There is no shortcut, or magic set of numbers that will do it. :)

And I am sure your first camera was full fledged manual!
Hmmm! no magic set of numbers, guess there goes the rule of 16 :(

Outdoor color accuracy problem.

barr wrote:

When I try to capture the beauty of green trees
and a vivid blue sky the color in the photos
never gets close to what I see with my eyes.
Why is there such a discrepancy?

There are many variables when shooting pictures outdoors and many of us has had to learn to compensate for them by the use of white balance and filters such as CP or graduated filters.
For sure you are not alone in this don't be afraid to experiment and try new things you have much to gain and little to loose.

I am afraid to ask a dumb question

Perhaps a simple flash diffuser and reflector(s) would give you the results that you are looking for.

Apprenticeships , do any Pros hire them

dasloaf wrote:

I was wondering if professional photographers hire apprentices. I'd love to work a few hours a week and help out at special events or assignments to learn from an expert. I'm too old to go to school and put up with instructors who really never made it in the real world.

I teach a 4-H photography class so I always have more than enough volunteers for projects.
Many of times the students become my teacher so it works out very well.

Cokin P square filter kit from Amazon

Be cautious as Cokin is a name brand many of the filters or holders may read "filters for cokin P series" or Filters for cokin p series holder"
The holders that is not cokin or stamped cokin is very weak and tend to crack easily.
The filters that are not cokin is thin and warp very easily especially in this heat that we have been having.
be sure that what you get is genuine "cokin" the filter holder is stamped cokin on the top.
I have used cokin products for years.

Your age

Would you rather be 15 for the rest of your life, or 64 for the rest of your life? Personally, I think I'd go for 15.

Would rather be 64 that way I could enjoy the senior citizens discounts and perks, to hard to be 15 would always have to show an id to do anything, besides would not want to be in the 10th grade the rest of my life... ugh!
