photography
hello everyone, i am new to these forums and would like some advice. i got a willing gf, finnaly, and would like to start posting, but i am not a very good photographer..any tips? all of mine seem to come out blurry and or too bright...i have a kodak 5mega pix cam. thank you!
What type of settings do you have on the cam? On mine I have a "sports" type mode. This increases the shutter speed so with no flash the pic is not blurred. You need to have enough natural light or lighting though so it comes out clear.
sport mode, cool thank you man. another question; can i get the camera to take the pictures faster? i seem to only beable to get one action shot off then the rest are afterwards. and after a while the cum starts to lose its thickness...maybe its the camera...i dont know...thanks again
Most cameras don't have any kind of sequence photo making mode.. so you'll pretty much me stuck with either single images or video... your best bet is to check the manual for your options... otherwise practise taking the photos as quick as possible, while your not there wasting time while your cum dries. lolOriginally Posted by bobit123
most cameras are limited in terms of speed by the speed of the memory cards, so you might find that the operation or busy light will stay on for ages while saving pics... you can get faster cards should you feel inclined..
if you want, post the make and model of camera and we might be able to be much more specific with what we say..
Here's my experience for what it's worth... most consumer digital cameras aren't going to be much good for consistantly catching action shots. Their shot to shot speed leaves a lot to be desired and they have relatively small memory buffers. If you really want to catch it all from the first spurt to last drip use a video cam or set your digicam to movie mode. You won't get high res stills from the vid mode but you'll at least get the whole event recorded for posterity. Investing in a tripod is a huge help and it's hard to stress how important it is to have lots of light. The faster the shutter is going (sports mode for instance) the more light is needed to adequately illuminate your subject for the brief instant that the shutter is open.
Ultimately there's really no substitute for practice, so get your camera, get your gal and get busy
Fast shots are hard to come by with a consumer digicam. an slr is the way to go if you want really great fast pix. I suggest a canon digital rebel xt.
but to help you with your cam, if it has a manual option or shutter priority mode, go to that, set the shutter to the higher numbers. that increases the speed it can fire, your gonna need alot of light though to do this because the faster the shutter the less light gets in, hence dark pictures. your pics are probably blurry cause the shutter is set too slow, presettings tend to do this. the longer the shutter, the more light gets in, also allows camera shake to be more noticable. Good luck.
Yes flash with DSLR is the way to go, trouble is its a bit of an expensive way to go. The Nikon D50/D70/D70s has flash sync up to 500/sec the fastest so far for DSLR's.
