my experimentation with aperture
 

wow. i finally figured this **** out.

k in the first two pics, and keep in mind are at 7:30 pm, almost completely dark, i had the aperture at like F4.8 (my camera can do F2.6 but i was zoomed, and it only does F4.8 when zoomed) and the exposure was around 4 seconds. the second two pics were with F4.8 again, but the exposure was at 8 seconds. i was amazed when i saw these pics. it was so dark, yet it looks like 2 PM!

then the last pic was proof, that now with the exposure setting discovered, i BADLY need a tripod. lol. the other pics had that problem too, but i had the camera on a curb or block wall for those so the only shake is cuz my camera is weird shaped on the bottom, and after pushing the button, it shook a bit.

you guys like how i talk about F4.8 like i know wtf that means? rofl. i dont know what the **** im doing, all i know is this **** looks a million times better. so now im gonna get a tripod tomorrow after work. where the hell do i get one? would best buy have em? they sell cameras? i gots me a rewards card from them last week.

You can get tripods from basicly any electronics store.

You really seem to be getting the camara down.

You should stop experimenting with speed so you're not vibrating so much when you take the pictures. :p Sorry, I had to.

Sunset Hills Dr., eh? That sounds so typically Californian.

yeah, you def got the lighting down... now onto the tripod

The lower the aperture # the more light it lets in... therefore shorter shutter speeds needed.

gettin better bud

Yea im a retart when it comes to camera too. looks nice though dude

Now, the real trick, is setting the aperature with the shutter speed to get the perfect picture. Not to mention choosing the correct ISO.

haha wtf are you guys talking about. i like the 1st bright one caleb. that looks really good

sweet pics. id like to figure that **** out sometime

This camera talk sounds to us how I sound when talking about computers to... anyone.

Yeah, but most likely on his camera, if he chooses an ISO speed, hes not gonna be adjusting the other settings.

:teknology

If hes using the Powershot, then I dont think you can even choose an ISO, or if you can its only like 100-600 or so.

I just hacked my Xti to work like a D20 and have 2100 ISO a couple weeks ago :D

:orly:

I think i'd understand the gist of it. But I am by no means a computer genius.
