Always the wrong Way
(I wish he was facing me) I haven't used my camera in so long I almost forgot where it was and how to use it. When I picked it up there was this little thing sitting out there on a handle so I decided to take its picture, of course shooting through the window. . Low and behold it came out pretty fair and I am posting it with some cropping and noise reduction and that is it. Everything else is right out of the camera.

Hi Vince - the HAP will probably want to take you in for questioning :) :)
Not bad for shooting through glass - shutter speed a little slow - but not sure that you could go much higher with the ISO.

Hi Lance,
I looked on the Acronym List and couldn't find HAP. Can you let me know what it is?
I oftened get questioned about my shutter speed. When I first started I shot at ISO 200 and Al advised me to increase my ISO, which I have done. I don't like the noise I get. (Any way of controlling that) The results and the effect I thought were controled by the camera. I can see if I was shooting manually that I would have countrol of both ISO and speed. Is that correct??
In all honesty I have never shot in Shutter speed priority because the few time s I have I have never got the desired reults. I will try it again and will see what I get.
Any other help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
hi Vince - HAP = Head Angle Police - Refers to having the birds head angled slighlty towards the camera so that the eye and beak are on the same plane and both are sharp regardless of the DOF. Also just more pleasing having direct eye contact.Originally Posted by VinceRossi
Heres what I would recoomend..
Shutter speed priority - is for when you want to freeze action like a bird in flight - you select the shutter speed you want and the camera chooses the aperture.
Aperture Prioirty - used mainly for still subjects - you choose the aperture, camera selects the shutter speed.
Smaller F Number like 2.8 gives less depth of field - IE :Blurred out Background, Higher FSTOP number like F16 = More depth of field so Background will be more in focus as well.
Check out this for what I mean - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=52455
ISO = the camera's sensitivity to light as you increase the ISO your shutter speed also increases - but so does NOISE - once you have noise there are programs like noise ninja that attempt to remove it from your image.
Any of this make sense??
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO RESPOND------It all makes sense.
Sorry But I still don't understand how to overcome the camera selecting a slow shutter speed when everything else APPEARS to be correct.
Thansk also for the link on F stops.
Vince
