Coming from the boy who was made up when he actually got a picture of a bike in frame? Was blurry to fuck like but still in frame haha
Cheers Dave! Need to invest in one of them massive lenses next... Was talking to one of the media press while i was there... The lens he was using looked like something of the hubble telescope. He said he got a good offer on it and it only cost him £18,000!!! He had a smaller one that he claimed was "much cheaper" was only £5,500! Does anyone want to sponsor my photography hobby ??? haha
Josh is slighty right haha... It is about the ISO (artificial light from the camera - the lower the better) - Your shutter speed the 1/800, 1/500, 1/1000 numbers. That is how fast it takes the picture... The faster the shutter speed the less light it takes in. This is why i can take a picture in the middle of the night and it looks as bright as day with no flash. I slow the shutter speed right down to 30 seconds (30") but the camera must remain perfectly still or it will be VERY blurry. e.g. 1/1000 will get a picture like this - See how the background and everything else seems to be still. View attachment 517 1/200 will get a picture like this - Gives a true sense of speed in the picture yet a little more difficult to capture. View attachment 518 After all that you have then got your Field of Depth to worry about (the F numbers) again this is the amount of focus on a picture.. A low "F Stop" (e.g. 2.8) will put all the detail into the main item you are focusing on i.e. the bike. A higher F Stop (e.g. 10.0) will bring more of the background into focus. Again, the higher the F stop the less light it will let into the picture... its all about finding the balance with the light available as to what setting to put your camera on.... For example. Them bike pictures where mostly take using - ISO 100, Shutter Speed 1/1000 - 1/300, and F5.0 If you where taking a picture indoors and it was quite dark .i.e. a social club at a party for example you would want something like ISO 800 - Shutter speed 1/500 and F2.8
Think I will buy my self a 200 or 300mm Prime lens it was fucking hard work on Sunday trying to take pictures with a 55-300mm telephoto got some good pictures like haha but none like bobs . I just couldn't seem to get any colour in them either, I did try high shutter with low Iso but they where very dark so I was shooting 400 Iso with 1/800s shutter and 4.5 aperture https://www.flickr.com/photos/124345462@N05/14149663113/ Didnt know how to get the photo to insert ^^^
Yeah thats pretty good that picture like Michael. Just watch the costs of the prime lenses... Mine is a 100mm macro prime lens and it should have cost £700+
