We recently got a new camera but I find I default back to the old point and shoot camera most of the time because I already know how to use it.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-59554109092717667712015-02-13T10:34:53.144-08:002015-02-13T10:34:53.144-08:00Well done on completing the challenge, and thanks ...Well done on completing the challenge, and thanks for joining in :o)<br /><br />It's interesting to see the different ways the camera handled some of these situations - the portrait one being a definite case in point! Did the flash fire in the portrait mode by any chance?<br /><br />It's a wee bit hard to see at this size, but I think in landscape mode, some of the further away buildings are a bit clearer than in the automatic/program modes, which I would expect, since the aim of landscape mode is to make everything clear.<br /><br />For your close ups one, I think this demonstrates the focussing point differences across the modes, as the main flower looks clearer than the auto mode one.<br /><br />With the moving subjects, there's not a huge difference - was the shutter speed chosen similar for all 3? It's probably the one with the least noticeable difference in auto mode if there's a fair amount of available light, so I'm not hugely surprised that they're similar.Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-11495925472869045572015-02-13T05:59:46.498-08:002015-02-13T05:59:46.498-08:00You got to see a Chihuly garden in person, lucky y...You got to see a Chihuly garden in person, lucky you. I found my camera book the other day, it is time for me to do this challenge too, thank you for the reminder. I can see already that there are advantages to knowing one's camera better.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-14900642817914027452015-02-12T22:13:09.509-08:002015-02-12T22:13:09.509-08:00When I taught in the Black and White Photo Lab at ...When I taught in the Black and White Photo Lab at the University of California, bracketing each exposure was such a critical skill to learn, and we also had the students take notes of all the things you mention. Of course, now, with our digital cameras, we can see more quickly which exposure will work, but I think this is still a good thing to experiment with and a good way to get to know your camera's potential. I think it's interesting that your bracketing comes by using different settings on the camera, rather than lens aperture or light exposure, but it's the contrasting results that make us take notice, isn't it?OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.com
