red gazing ball in my grandparent's garden

Hello,I don't have a dslr, but I was taking pictures of the trees in my town and they came out pretty well, except for some slight blurring around the edges. Would anyone have any idea as to why this happened?

your pic is kinda overexposed and you may not have image stabilization (IS)

Move up the shutter speed if the object is in motion (i.e. tree blowing in the wind?) especially in bright light (i.e. daytime).

Depth of Field is a lil off too. So you're focused only on objects closest to you. Adjust w/ manual focusing and f-stop.

^jackleg picked a good one.

that is my "starter lens"

well it was my first "real" lens i invested in and it is a hell of a lens. i thought about selling it but can't because i love it too much to actually follow through. fairly cheap for a wide to tele lens. sharp sharp sharp. little distortion. slow focusing but very small. much smaller than the 28-90 quantary actually.

12/2/2006 1:30:17 PM

have you used a d200? i think its weird using a camera thats worth more than a sentra!

12/2/2006 1:33:55 PM

the countryside outside of Long Compton, Oxfordshire, England

12/2/2006 2:32:36 PM

^^D200's are nice cameras, for Nikons of course.

12/2/2006 2:33:03 PM

I haven't played much with my camera lately.

here's one from yesterday that I couldn't resist, though.

12/11/2006 12:19:08 PM

Nah, d200's are solid cameras. I'd take one.

Some recent stuff, including the shots from the other night when I was playing with some nice studio lighting around my house. I'm glad I have patient (and vain) room mates.

this thread makes me wanna drop the money for a new camera

12/18/2006 3:02:54 AM

From my grandfather's. We did Christmas with the extended family this past weekend.




I think the tone on these might be a little warm. Still figuring out how to process these on the mac so they look right on PCs, as well.

12/18/2006 8:15:19 PM

Ewwww, direct flash.

First step I'd take would be to avoid that.

12/18/2006 8:29:02 PM

Any suggestions? I'm working with an S3IS in a dreafully lit house.

12/18/2006 8:32:32 PM

12/18/2006 10:24:15 PM

^^Use an index card to bounce the flash, or some tissue paper to diffuse it some. Direct flash is ewww.

Use available light when necessary.
