<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 428600, member: 4230&quot;]Thanks for the comments so far folks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> im really a slow learner on this camera stuff <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhoot.... i couldnt find my manual for the camera, so i downloaded it - its amazing how EVERYTHING is available for downloading on google lol - i took a look at all the settings i could change</p><p>1- aperature</p><p>2- shutter speed</p><p>3- F value</p><p><br /></p><p>i get the aperature part, easy enough! I get the shutter speed part - the quicker the shutter speed, great for action of fast moving objects... the longer the shutter speed, it can be used to allow extra light to filter in for a dark shot, or to purposely cause a blur effect as in shooting fireworks ect...</p><p><br /></p><p>what i dont really get is the EV value. in the manual, it says somethign to the effect that if my auto EV value says +/- 0ev, then my shutter and aperature settings have ben set to the best combination for the object. But i have a F setting that i can manually change. For my current set-up, i have it set to 5.00, If i set it lower, it allows MORE light, if i set it higher, it allows less light. With it set to 5, i get my EV setting to show zero, if i set it higher, the EV shows a higher positive number (i think) and if i set it lower i get a negative Ev number (i think, the EV number could be reversed, im not sure... my head has been visited by a migraine, so at times its tought to think lol... i am totaly amazed i have got this far too)</p><p><br /></p><p>I took <a href="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/app= wide shutter=125 F=5.00.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/app= wide shutter=125 F=5.00.JPG" rel="nofollow"> this photo </a> with the following settings Aperature= wide, F value (whatever it is)= 5.00 and my shutter speed= 125. IMHO i think the image is awsome. Its clear, crisp and sharp, and the frosted and mirror fields are very defined. Certainly one of the best coin photo i have ever taken lol. The biggest change i did today that i have never done before is the use of a table set tripod. We stripped the entire house down of furniture to the carpet and undertook a mega-rearange. We have to make room for the next addition of the family due October 22nd. So in the moving, i found the tripod <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>So... what do you all think of this latest photo?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
