Thanks for visiting my webpage. The picture's on the website were taken with a Sony Mavica. I have a lot to learn about lighting and exposure etc. etc.
I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to composition, the use of filters, or other available hardware. Especially the editing programs.
This is what I hope to gain from this forum, some knowledge. I also plan to find a class in our local Adult Ed. system. Hopefuly there's one being offered.
While I'm writing this post I might as well get started. As I mentioned earlier I'm now using a Nikon D50. What would be the recommended settings for a novice to use. Full auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, suggestions please? I will be shooting outside so does ISO come into play? how and why? What about filters? This inquiring mind needs to know
What I have planned to do, to get a feel for how my lenses will perform, is to shoot pictures of a duck decoy on a football field. Starting at the 25 yard line and moving the duck decoy away from me in 5yd increments. At least this way I'll get a feel for what my lenses will do as far as filling the frame. Any other suggestions are welcomed.
