Hey Shutter sisters (and brothers) I know of at least one male lurker lol.

I posted a landscape image in the competition folder a couple of days ago.

Head over here for a look and to get your eye in.

thanks Tiff

I use a lot of fence posts not sure is its worth looking into a tri pod as it would need to hold me as well as the camera

will look into the delay only thing I could find was 12 seconds on the timer set so far will have another look thanks

just to get your juices flowing.

I saw this tree glow about a month ago and I hadnt been near it since then, or at that time of evening with a camera..... until Saturday night.





Using the very last rays of sunshine as the sun dipped below the horizon. It took 45mins of waiting patiently standing on a ladder to get the 45 second burst of light that I wanted, then the sun was gone for the night.

Patience is a virtue!!!

As I had left my tripod home (stupid me!!!) this was handheld.
manual
f8
shutter 1/60th second
ISO 1250.

I had to keep bumping up my ISO at the light became less and less so I could keep my shutter fast enough to expose the shot correctly. (keeping that needle that can move left or right. I wanted it on the centre '0'

So to me this wasnt ideal, but it better than stuffing it totally and blurring the shot because the shutter was slow and therefore everything blurred.

WOW Tiff that that is truley beautiful thanks so much for putting it up

ok I think i know at least one place I am going wrong "Patience" I was away the day they gave that out
I only have a few mins of energy to acutully try sometime seem to get part of the problem think I best just put the camera away neither of us have the skill for this

thanks so much for putting up the tree love it the area around you looks simialr to here but much drier our dirt roads are mud

Hey Gypsy. Could you PM me your best effort so far along with the camera settings so I can help you out. Don't stop here chick, there's other things we can do.

take care and get well.

tiff

well i want to say a big thankyou to you Tiff. I only have a very basic digital camera, but with your encouragement and knowledge i know that even i will be able to get better pictures now

awwww Karen you sweet thing. Thank you for your lovely words.

I love to help so don't be shy in asking anything.




And ladies...... give me an idea what to do for you next month, got anything that you want a tutorial on???????????


tiff

pets i have had heaps of aminals in my life I don't think I have one decent photo to remember any of them by

Righto Gypsy. Pets it is...... we can twist pets and portraiture into the same thing. Its all the same principals so we'll go for it.

Thanks chickydee.

tiff

Sounds great to me!!

thanks Tiff only if that is what everyone wants I seem to be monoplising your time sorry

loving yout photos really has go me intersted but not sure how long it will last

mate. I'm wrapt that this has sparked something for you. go for it chick. That's what I'm here for!!!!

Can you use the mountain setting and the stabiliser at the same time on your camera or do they work separately???

t

as far as I can work out only seprately Tiff only seems to set to what ever you move the dial around to, Might try and get my sister to look she is much better at this sort of thing than me

:O).

I would be interested to see if you can spot any differences taking a shot with the 'stabiliser' and then taking another shot of the exact same scene with the mountain setting.

Let me know what you see, just out of curiosity. If there any differences at all ie shutter speed, darker or lighter image, focus, blurriness etc etc.


tiff
