Most the pics look excellent. The one of the chair and desk (in a hotel I'm assuming) looks like a magazine ad, its that clear. The colors and such are perfect in it. Nice job.
They look great, but it helps to be able to see the whole thing at once. Here they are for those of us on laptops and small screens. Hope you had fun and look up the local crew next time your out.
The football game was hard to shoot. Half the field was in the shade and clouds kept blowing through so I had to keep playing with the ISO to try get good lighting. I was trying to keep my apature as high as possible, but I suppose now that I should have gone with a lower ISO and apature lower.
I don't know how to speak photographer but here goes. The apature on that camera was (L)2.8 - 8.0(H). I don't know much about shooting pictures in manual modes so I tried to keep the apature near 8 and then play with the ISO. Is that wrong?
The smaller the aperture number, the wider open your lens is, letting in more light so you can use a lower ISO number. With the wider aperture, the less depth of field you get. In general, use a low aperture for sports/portraits, and a higher number aperture for landscape shots.
As with all cameras, you want to try to use the lowest ISO number possible for your situation. The higher the ISO, in general, the more noise/grain you get on your shots.
Did I miss the type of camera you are using? A lot if cameras are better left at IS0 100 and nothing greater, in order to keep the photos as noise free as possible. The exceptions are SLR Digitals, which have a better/larger image sensors in them.
