I Got Surgery

Really :gasp: :gasp: wow okay so what your saying is always use the tri pod right.....mmm...good thing I like the tri pod I purchased lol.

Thanks for the wicked tip though :hug:

Okay now about the shutter speed....not the ISO..but lets start at shutter speed what's all those 5/8 numbers what does that mean....does it have to do with the speed of the shutter? or is that what the ISO is for..mmm..but first question shutter speed? What will it do and how does it effect the pictures? After you answer this question you can answer the ISO question? What does the ISO do? How does it affect the picture?

 

yes ...if you are in a condition where you need a tripod it is best to used one...i personal hate using them...but ya lol..

shutter speed- shutter speed is how long the shutter stays open..so when you have a shutter speed of 30..that means it stays open for 30th of a second....when you look at you camera and you see 2''...that means the shutter is open for 2 seconds...shutter speed is used to stop action, blur motion..and deals with how much light is beeing able to hit the sensor...now i use flash most of the time so im in the range of 250 of a second and lower...because flash sinks to a shutter speed of 250 of a second and lower....now with that being said..aperture is where you really adjust how much light you want to hit the sensor...once you get your shutter speed set say its at 200th of a second...use your aperture to adjust how bright or dark you want it....so if your at 200th of a second and ur aperature is at 7.1...and your picture comes out to dark...you are going to want to take your aperture to 6.3, or 5.6 or lower....

ISO- this is how sensitive your sensor gets...so at 100 ISO your sensor is least sensitive..at 1600 your sensor is alot more senstive..what that means..? this means at 100 ISO your sensor is not gonna be as sensative to light.. so its going to take in the least amount of light possible....resulting in alot crisper picture...at 1600 ISO your sensor is going to take in as much light as possible....making the pictures less crisp...thats why your pictures at 1600 have alot of dust looking spots known as noise level...soo always shoot at the lowest ISO as possible.


hope i answered your questions....let me know if you have anymore

 

Oh man this is wicked...okay I need to go play around with the camera now...give me a few hours of playing and give this a go :hug:

Thanks for the info buddy :applause:

 

Okay I got some more questions, what settings do I need to adjust to get tehse results:



If I'm not mistaken it's the "F" ratio that needs to be adjusted...I can't remember the true name...but any who the other question is that different lenses provide a different "F" ratio...well is there a lense good for daily use..meaning that it may not have a big zoom but something that can give you and "F" value of say 1?

The other question is what is "white balance"? I can only assume it's got something to do with the lighting? I don't know

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

from the title all i could think of is "I got surgery, Surgery I got" like the 50 cent song

sorry to hear about the surgery, at least your getting it fixed.

and i did not know about the iso settings thing. i have an alright 8 mp camera and some times the pictures come out really dusty is a good word for it.
you should make a picture taking guide while you are off your feet!

 

hah sorry for the late reply, i wrote a detailed reply and i hit some button and it deleted it all lol...but 1st off i went to the doctor today and got my stitches out and got the ok to walk w/o the brace..ive been walking good the past few days..so everything is going good...

now to your photography question...the f ratio you are talking about is tech. called an "f stop", this is used in 1/3...so that being said the fstop is how much light is being let into the camera, if you have an fstop of 2.8 on your camera you are letting in alot of light, the aperture opening is very large, this also means only a small portion of the photo is in focus, and rest is blurred out, the picture above, looks to be around the fstop of 5 to 7. So if you have an fstop of 22, your aperture is going to be very small but creating a very crisp picture with alot in focus.

So senerio...your taking a picture of aflower and you wante the background totaly blurred, your are going to want to shoot it at an fstop of about 2.8 to 4 range, you can adjust this setting in the manual setting on your camera or the aperture priotity on your camera dial.

If you are taking a picture of a mountain range and want all of the landscape to be in focus you are going to want an fstop of 11 or higher..the hight the fstop the more that will be in focus.

Now all that being said, it also deals with lighting. If you are shooting in in low light areas you are going to have to shoot at the lowest fstop, so you can get the maximun amount of light. When you shoot at a high fstop, say f22, your shutter speed is going to drop dramaticly and you are prob. going to need a tripod.

Now the deal with the lens, your not going to get a lens with an fstop of 1, Nor do you want that, you will will have bearly anything in focus. A good lens for cars is a good wide angle 10-22 and a mid range like 28-135...these would be good.

Now with lenses, you are limited on your fstops, some lenses only go down to a 3.5 fstop and at the least zoom and 5.6 at the longest zoom.

So log on to the canon website and check out some of thier lenses.

I hope i answered your question and if i missed somthing let me know..good luck.:mounty:

 

First of all that's great news Scott's Mobile Detailing about being able to walk with out the brace, that's progress :thumb: you just need to take it easy, no suden twists or turns..but I'm sure you already know that.

As for the information, that's perfect becuase that's what I was after. Samples as to what to do during different situations thank you for sharing I need to read it a few times go try things out and I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

One thing I'm enjoying though is getting the background blured, just love that :wicked: as for the lenses yea I've been reading a bit about them and need to learn/read much more to fully understand and be able to speak the proper lingo.

Thanks for the info :thumb: and I'll be back with more questions, right now it's putting what you said to test eace:

 

hope ur feelin better man
those knee's can be tricky parts of the body...when i was in HS i was "mr. show off" and i ended up grinding out my miniscus..so my patella doesnt float so well in my knee like it should

..to you and ur speedy recovery! cheers!

 

well that doesnt sound to fun lol...ya i played soccer with torn acl and no brace and that didnt help lol

 

ya its alot easier when you have your camera...honestly read the manual also...it helps a bit..but hit me up with any questions about anything, buying lenses can be dificult since it can be a little pricy so just ask away:dance:

 

:nod: Yup I've been hiting the manual hard, highlighting a few things..the manual has a bunch of tips, good tips too :thumb:

Thanks for the help.
