non "Auto " photo's
:pleased::pleased::pleased::pleased::pleased:
As i have said before in a previous blog i was going to try and not be a happy snapper so much, and try to get to better grips with my camera, well during then and now i have tried unsuccessfully, every now and then tried different things that i had read with very little results
Then i asked someone for any tips they had on photographing red flowers and they very kindly answered not only with some tips but some explanations to boot, well i have studied the notes and then tried a couple of things and bingo a light went on (not very brightly at the moment but on all the same )
now i know it has only been a very small step, and there is lots and lots more to learn, but at the moment i am really happy and will be practising some more with what i have learnt over the last two days,
And just to prove i haven't gone to far i have forgotten the settings on the camera already ! ! !
I was in A (aperture) mode, used the exposure compensation button, then altered the f stop both up and down so that i could see the difference that i got from doing such a action
I know the subject is not very inspiring but it was what was in front of me in the garden where i was "studying" although i did change the pot for my coffee cup :grin: drip included

Hi Arura,
I thought I'd move the discussion of VN travel over here so that we don't clutter up the Critiques thread with off-topic discussion. Anything goes over here in Salon though!
Wow - 5 weeks to see VN! That sounds about right. I brought my mother with me in...06-14-2002, 01:28 PM -
I'm wondering how y'all first caught the restoring bug?
As for me, I've always been into photography. I started fiddling with an instamatic when I was 8, and had my first darkroom when I was 12.
At age 18, after dropping out of college (different story) I got a job at...08-13-2001, 10:30 PM -
Hi, I have worked as a photographer in the past and because of my interest in photography I have spent a lot of time trying to master Photoshop which I love. As it is hard to make ends meet as a photographer in a small country town and I'm sick of having to work weekends, I'm thinking about a career...06-09-2006, 04:55 AM -
I think my interest in this hobby (not sure what name you would call it ) took off when i had my first digital camera, which was a small (under 1megapixel) thing, but cost then about the £100 mark (which is all my subsequent camera's have cost :pleased:up to the 8mp one i have now). I took some great...11-21-2007, 10:35 AM

Let me explain, right now I was making a 100% crop before and after composition to show on another thread. Immediately I started seeing lots of spots in the skin needing healing I mean these where really obvious spots that I should not have missed.
Most of the time when I'm retouching a photo...09-21-2008, 01:27 AM
I totally agree with you to keep on practising what you have learnt so that hopefully it sticks in your mind and becomes second nature to you
And it is great to finally think i might be getting somewhere :grin:

I know what you mean that is why i am taking it slowly, and to keep trying to replicate what i have learnt, and it is worth it before i take a non auto photo i take a auto photo so that i can compare shots and the non auto ones are better (well i think so ) :grin:
