One out of a hundred
I gave the gf a a new camera and so far this is the only good picture I’ve managed to take out of around a hundred. While I’m a wiz with video cameras, I’ve got a lot to learn about this little guy.
Sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been flying under the radar the past couple of weeks. We just wrapped production on two projects which of course means we are already behind on post-production. So next week should be a flurry of edits and comps trying to get ready for a conference the following monday, but oh well…I like to be busy.
I’ll be sure to post more photos soon, but if anyone has any recommendations on digital slr books be sure to drop a line in the comments. I’m viewing this camera as a new exercise in creativity and so far I suck. :)
I have had that same camera for a little over a year now, and as far as advice…anything but perfect lighting/distance, Use a tripod. The book that I keep with me at all times is called “The Digital Photography Book” by Scott Kelby. Its got great instructions, but the best part is the last 20 pages or so, it show various pictures and a little description as to how to recreate the exposure. That way in a pinch you can just thumb through the pics till you find one that fits your needs and then you know immediately what you need to do to get the shot. You know me, i don’t like to wait for anything. I am really itching for a lens upgrade, thats suppose to make the most difference. Anyway, basically your in for a lot of pissed off photography sessions. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I was actually looking at that book last week, but I wanted to see it in my hands…of course Borders in Lawrence doesn’t have it. Anyway, I ordered last night, so hopefully it will get here soon.
Thanks for the advice, and as far as the date goes it’s not a server problem it’s some new weird wordpress bug. It’s displaying the date for all comments as the day of the original post, instead of giving each comments it’s own time and date. Time to go trouble shooting, and thanks for the catch. ;)

Huzzah fixed it! Nothing like squashing a bug first thing in the morning.
