I wonder why these pics are not working? I uploaded them to my flickr site... Hmmm... I may have to upload these to FB instead

Go to the picture you want to post on flickr, click on the all sizes button above the photo, pick the size you want, then grab the #2 url at the bottom of the page

 

Thank you Collen! I'm going to do this right now

Needed a little faster shutter on that last one.

I really liked the one with the fence posts.

 

Thanks!

Turbo was running at boosted speeds!

I'm still having a hard time with manual mode I'll take a pic in manual, and it doesn't turn out very well, but when I set it to auto it turns out a lot better Maybe I should just set it at manual and not change it? It's just hard to not change it back to auto...

When I was learning, I went to a park setup a tripod and took the exact same picture over and over with ridiculas settings just trying to wrap my brain around the relationship of aperture to shutter speed.

It makes TOTAL sense now, but I had to DO it to understand it. Mabey you should try that. Even now, I am not afraid to take the same pic over and over until I get it JUST right. I hate fixing in post-production. I try to get things "in-camera" as much as possible.

The second stage is to start shooting long exposures at night. I LOVE night shots, if you can get those right, the rest seems easy.
