You see the problem is, I don't keep these settings when using the cam. Yes there are one or two basics regarding apateure and shutter priority, but generally it's more about playing with the camera... These shots you see I usually take a few of each till I'm satisfied with the one I want...

[lighthammer]

if you upload your shots to flickr, each photo has a spec's list on the sidebar - with exposure settings, f/stop, shutter speed, iso, etc.

Also in windows 7, if you right click on the picture in windows explorer and select properties, you'll see the same listing of spec's for that photo.

i wish you guys would post the camera model , lens , settings etc for all the pics you post ...it would certainly help the noobs like me pick up tricks faster

^^ What he said!

If you're running firefox you can download a plug in called exif viewer, it will give you all the info you need.

Doesn't always work for edited images... especially if the image is resized.

Here are a couple from my trip to Panama:





Also got a question for you guys: my digital camera allows me to have shutter priority, ie set any shutter speed I want and the camera will automatically set the aperture. I was trying to take pics of the rain today, trying to capture the drops mid air, so I was using a very fast shutter speed but the pics were coming out very dark. I know that faster shutter speeds means less light coming in, but my question is, if the less light is a big factor...how to people take nice shots of fast moving objects? Is it that they have cameras with better image sensors? Does my little canon not have a large enough sensor for those types of shots?

Btw, doh ring meh out nah....I'm still learning.

man in blue isnt that the bear? must be a thrill workin with him

sweet! didnt realize there was a plugin... i used to use exifread.exe

i saw exif sometimes get preserved after a resize. i think its more compression side of things get rid of the exif.

Yep the man in blue is Bear. Didnt actually 'work' with him. I was lucky enough to be offered a chance to tag along with the helicopter crew while he was shooting his Panama Pearl Islands episode. Real cool guy....very funny. Wasnt suppose to take any pics so everything shown here, except the R22 in the sand, was taken under lows with my cell, lolol

And yes his camera crew has the benefit of tents. lol Bear doh need that tho.....he hard like ur big head.

Wow, that's super cool man. I would love to meet bear grylls in person, he seems like a pretty down-to-earth kinda guy. I used to watch his show regularly too, the guy seems genuine, even if he has a camera-crew with him. The last show I saw was him voluntarily swimming under an artic ice-shelf with air-holes set up at regular intervals, to show how hypothermia works.


Aye this thread inspiring me to go take some pics.... where did I put the ol' Nikon D200?

When you find the D200...you need to get one of these for it.

Good Morning Atlantis

[RBphoto]

Atlantis is the bomb digidy yo!!!

You gone swimming with the dolphins?

[SPEC S]

Swam with some sting rays actually

[RBphoto]

Did that in Gran Cayman... I like them. I got a back massage from one... that was quite nice. If you go for the "swimming with the dolphin" excursions, here is a tip: do the shallow water one. Every man jack wants to do the "swimming" but all they really get is a group show and tell, 40 seconds of interaction with the dolphin, pluss a quick picture (and about 40 in a group). The "Kiddie" activity only has about 5 families max, everyone gets to interact with the dolphin for the whole session, and pictures are more relaxed, and you get many tries to get the best poses with the dolphin, including the high 5, the kiss the dolphin shot, and the holding the dolphin under your arm shot. I spent $200USD on photographs that day and don't regret it.

What camera are you using brother?

[Lance]

[lighthammer]

MrGoSlow - yo dude, I use a Nikon D200. My usual lens that I keep on it is a 18-70mm f/3.5-4.0 AF-S lens.



For my zoom, I have a cheap Sigma 70-210mm f/4.0-5.6 AF-D lens that i got for 40 pounds off ebay.co.uk (was studying in the UK at the time).

For wide angle shots, got a Sigma 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-D EX lens. Bought that at B&H camera in NYC (was studying in NY at that time).

Also have the 50mm f/1.8 AF-D and 35mm f/1.8 AF-S prime lenses, as well as a couple others.
