Tis The Season

By Penny written 12/13/05 4:09 PM, published 12/13/05 4:09 PM
I am (Thanks to Lil') trying harder to understand some settings on my camera that I have not used much.  So I took some shots last night of some of my Christmas Popup Linkornaments. I did take them at night with no flash and no other lights but the ones on the tree.  I didn't PS any of them.   Popup LinkSnow Girl  I did this one because I think it Popup Linkbelongs here.  My Aunt gave it to me about 16 years ago. (If you look close you can see the picture on the negative)  Let me know what you think.

    I like it,..... if you use a tripod and or bring the ISO up a little ...you might like the changes..but I do like the framing of these and as a thumbnail, the snowmans cool.

    They are good, but I think I'd do as Chef suggested and bring the ISO up some since you aren't using any light other than what's on the tree.

    Nice job Penny girl! Tripod yes, Aperture or F stop remember...to get your DOF to come out set your f stop at a higher number like we talked about then it will look like the ornaments are flying off the tree..AV mode, you set f stop it sets shutter speed, play with it until you get the right light you want. That includes ISO. Dam I still don't have my tree up. Love these shots though. BTW I'm needing some flowers to dry for the tree, ok flower lady?

    Penny, Try turning all the light on you can in the room where your tree is. And look in your manual to see what the minimum Focus Distance is too and get no closer than that to the ornaments... well I looked it up and if you turn your Macro mode on you can get as close as .9 feet unless you are zoomed in. But turn on th macro mode it will help with the close focus.

    I even heard a vicious rumor that there was going to be a little added extra for me and my most valuable employee for our coffee. (after hours you know) She is evil that way. My mom even made some good snacks for it. You know I'm not baking!! No way!! I will make Christmas cookies with the kids next week and that is my yearly baking.

    Well it was directed to the few people that were on here and they know who they are, so I'm sure they didn't take an insult to it. And yes you're right it could be the age thing. I'm sure I'll grow up eventually. LOL

    I'm glad someone finally mentioned Lilbit's exposure. Girl, I was going to mention it but thought it was a good look on you! I'm not getting any work done for checking back here. And Moose, lots of things can be even more fun in the dark.

    OK I have examined the cartoon nipplage carefully and as a result of zooming in I have discovered it's the black outline if the white fur on the top not any "exposure" of any kind...LOL

    She can say it's the outline of the fur all she wants! I think she's wrong! Penny, how was the open house?
