nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."I have question for you Matt;
I understand reciprocity departure in film very thoroughly. Does the same phenomena occur using digital equipment? It would seem to me that, if it did, there would be some danger that the sensor in the…"
Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed.""...wouldn't intensity equal how much light is flowing rather than aperture?"
It is true that you can adjust light intensity many ways outside the camera. You could also control it via ND filters, pol filters, etc... on…"
Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed.""The filling a bucket example is good, but you left out the size of the bucket."
That's ISO.
My point is that learning manual exposure is pretty easy. I learned it when I was 12. Thankfully I…"
nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."Agreed. I have just learned, over the years, that I have to be extremely precise and careful when teaching these concepts so there is no misconception about how they work, and what needs to be done to make them work.

CameraClicker replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."It probably has to do with our use of the words precise and reasonable. I hope we can agree that the combination of shutter speed, aperture and ISO must be precisely balanced. The camera pretty much forces the individual settings to be…"
nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed.""All three have to be balanced and set to reasonable values for the subject being photographed". I would go further and state that they are not reasonable values, but precise values. A common mis-understanding is that you can…"
CameraClicker replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."The examples are over simplified.
Exposure is affected by shutter speed, aperture and ISO. All three have to be balanced and set to reasonable values for the subject being photographed.
In the examples, cooking a frozen…"
Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."I agree, and since the basics of exposure are about as complicated as cooking a frozen pizza there is little excuse not to go ahead and figure it out.
Cooking a frozen pizza = time (how long in oven) x intensity (how hot the…"
nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."I just wonder if you can get dry plate sensors! Bad joke! My only contention with both digital and film photography is that practitioners must learn the basics. Even if the camera is left on auto at all times, if there isn't…"
nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."Shutter speed is fine since it is the commonly understood term. It's just a term that I don't use."
Scimitar replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."Yeah , thanks Nathan, this puts some perspective on the issue from a pro point of view. Appreciated. All these tips helps a great deal. I also take note to call it ''Exposure Time'', and not ''Shutter Speed''.…"
Matt Needham replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."Here's a guy commenting on how easy dry plate photogs had it. I wonder what he might think about roll film? ;)"...it is not easy for the new generation of photographers to understand the difficulties through which the beginner of thirty…"
nathan mccreery replied to Scimitar's discussion Shutter speed."Yes, it is a thing I advocate for often; that each photograph be purposeful, and that there be a clear understanding of basic principles."

Brian Leng said… Hello, your photography can be improved with time and practice and not be afraid to ask questions. That is how you get better. We all had to start somewhere and I don't think anyone came out of the womb holding a camera!
As for your images that you are showing, try not to use your on camera flash and just use the available light. The image of the church is good. You have all of the elements to make a wonderful image. It just needs to be composed better. Always have a center of interest to alert your viewer as to where to start to view your image. In this case it would be the church and the two other main elements are the branches and the blue sky with the white puffy clouds. The branch without any leaves is right smack in the middle of the frame which is competing with the church. Find a angle where the "naked" branch isn't showing, or get a saw.... Once you do that, you will have a wonderful looking image. Try to shoot as many different angles you can possibly find. Then when you down load them into your computer, compare one against the other until you find the one that you think is the best frame.
Shooting one or two frames is O.K. but I think you will learn a lot faster if you shoot ten or more different angles to compare.
I'm here when you need feed back on your images.
Brian
