Okay, I don't think we have one of these,
I know there was a thread floating around a while ago with showing off photo's of anything.
This thread I'm hoping to basically get tips on how to use a camera.
For example -
Post a picture,
Followed by what settings,
What attachments you used.
This will help me out lots As I'm sure to many other too.
I'll start it off,
I've currently only been using Auto settings (I've had the camera for just over a month - my 1st DSLR - Canon 450d)
Now photo's do come out clear, however I want to improve on them. ( I don't know what lenses I have atm, when I'm home I'll update - But I have a short one for close ups, and a long one which acts like a telescope Sorry to any Photographers boffs for using terrible terminology )
I was speaking to a photographer on monday evening who advised me to use AV mode, I've now done a bit of research to learn this can control the shutter speed, which I'm looking forward to trying out soon.
I also have a few different lens filters which I need to try.
So first up - Photo a took, in the sun. Full Auto
Now here is another, but taken by someone else
Now the image above seems to be more glossy, brighter, and just in general better (Imo ) - Now is this down to tweaking in photoshop with the contrast? Or settings on a camera?
My final picture is another at a sunset
Now this isn't as bright as the others, now i'm 99% sure that is just down to it getting darker.
Recommendations on settings that should of been used on the shot above?
Some pictures of what I'd love to achieve...
So just to summarise this thread
Post a picture YOU'VE taken, with what settings/Attachments you used
**Mods - wasn't sure whether to have this in Off topic or Photo's, if it gains much interest, sticky it in Photo?**
