Local Time: 08:50 PM | See flickr for examples - it stands for high dynamic range. It's basically blending and used a lot for landscapes. When the foreground is dark and the background is bright, it helps to merge images with different exposures. You have to use a low iso, a tripod, and aperture priority for it. Or a ND filter can be used. |

Local Time: 12:50 PM | I guess I am kind of obsessed with band photography and portraits. I tend to walk around in a haze, composing pictures in my head, without really being aware of it! One of my uncle's did some professional photography back in the day, so maybe it's in the genes ![]() I've yet to buy a digital SLR (I'm kinda scared actually!) ... I still love to use my Pentax K1000 I have a couple of compact digital camera's, and absolutely adore the Panasonic Lumix I bought a few months ago.If anyone can recommend a really good SLR I can start with then please share some tips. I've done a few short-term photography/darkroom courses ... looooong time ago now, no real formal training. |

Local Time: 12:50 PM | I've been trying to use a tripod, but haven't really needed to thus far. And the couple of times I tried long exposures, there was just too much light and the photo was waaay overexposed. |

Local Time: 05:50 PM | You should increase the depth of field (f/stop) if you're getting overexposed shots that way. Are you shooting in manual mode? |

Local Time: 12:50 PM | Sure am. So that means what, a smaller aperture? |

Local Time: 08:50 PM | Can anyone recommend some good online sites or blog entries explaining aperture? That's where I have the most trouble. Also, my new camera comes with all these features that edit the photos in the camera. Am I wrong or does this just seem pointless? Why not shoot raw and edit on the computer? |

Local Time: 07:50 PM | nice thread!!, ok here are some of my personal favorites!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like Justin says it's all about practice and see how far you can push your camera, but reading some theory never hurts |

Local Time: 08:50 PM | Yeah, the editing and direct printing from the camera are a bit of a joke. I'm not sure who uses those features- maybe PC-incompetent users. |

Local Time: 05:50 PM | Mofo your work is always amazing. You started out that way too? Learing on your own and then taking some classes correct? |

Here are a couple easier to read links: Photographer Tips » Understanding Aperture Quick Guide to Understanding Aperture Basically the aperture settings change how much of the image will be in focus, and how much time the shutter will have to be open to get the right amount of light in. The relation between the number and the size of the aperture (opening) is inverse, so a large aperture would be something like f/2.8 or below (where the opening in the lens is very large and letting in a lot of light, whereas a small aperture would be something like f/11 or f/16, where the opening in the lens is very small and a much smaller amount of light passes through. The larger the aperture, the smaller the area of focus/sharpness will be. If you want to take a portrait where the subject's eyes are in focus but everything else gets that pleasing blurry look (called "bokeh"), f/2.8 or something would work well. If you want to shoot a landscape where everything from the foreground to the background is in focus, you want to use a small aperture (f/8 or smaller is the general rule of thumb). Shutter speed and aperture are also inversely related. To get the same correctly exposed shot, if you choose a fast shutter speed you will need a large aperture. Say, for example, that at 1/60sec and f/4 you get a well exposed shot. If you want to shoot the same scene at 1/30sec, you would need to adjust the aperture to f/5.6, since you're letting the shutter stay open twice as long, you'd need to "stop down" to a smaller aperture to compensate for that extra time by having an opening that lets less light in. Hopefully that helps some! ![]() Quote:
