I've been learning the differences between the Aperture Priority mode ("AV") and Shutter Priority mode ("TV") and so far, I seem to favour AV modes when I'm outdoor and TV mode for action shots.
Snoopy proved to be a very willing model for me. I think she had too much to eat in the morning and was not moving as much. Anyway, she's a wanna-be supermodel dog, so, she's a natural with poses. :P
Snoopy taking a nap on the cool floor... 50mm, F/2.8, 1/8sec, ISO-200
Snoopy taking a sunbathing session - 50mm, F/22, 1/25sec, ISO-100
My sister's dried flowers - 28mm, F/5, 1/99sec, ISO-100
Awww... Two puppies - 50mm, F/2.8, 1/8sec, ISO-200These were my first few attempts. I still have a lot more to learn especially dealing with shutter speeds and white-balance settings. In the camera LCD, the shot looks good but on computer, while looking at an uncalibrated monitor, the colours seem to look quite messed up. :-(
Oh well, practice makes perfect. I quite enjoy taking photos in "M" mode but I need to learn a lot more about the settings to what makes a great shot. My goal is of course to take a good photo and not do too much "dark room techniques" to spruce up/correct the photo.

ReplyDeleteHi via!!
ReplyDeleteYes, that standing ear is her antenna! She can pick up weird sounds a mile away. KAKAAKA
I've been reading articles about A and S priority too. But haven't seriously play with it yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Che-Cheh,
ReplyDeleteHave you been playing with the Program/Auto mode?
Do try out the Aperture and Shutter priority settings. You can experiment with the way light is captured by the lens through the aperture that way. ;-)
