Here's a suggestion for you, or anyone, if you're just getting into the land of SLR or DSLR cameras. Check out the book "Understanding Exposure." I've had several people recommend it to me, and as I work through it, all the numbers and settings on the camera are starting to make sense to me.

Thanks Beth , I really am quite proud of it :D....

and definitely, you have the reason to do it:thumbup:

Initially, when I looked at the first pic it seemed to me that this is the light is pouring from the sky, but when I looked at other pics I understood that this is waterfall. I was really surprised with that. Awesome pics, really!!!

Daniel, is it me or is your last pic a little tilted? As I was scrolling down the horizon (waterline) wasn't level with my screen. Maybe an optical illusion. Otherwise they are fantastic.

Your right :D I really should update the pic because I have fixed the horizon since I posted it :thumbup: I was so happy with the shot I didnt notice it at first :rolleyes:

In fact I will go do that right now ;)

Updated pic is now posted :thumbup:

Humpy, how do you keep the exposure from being out of control when you keep the shutter on longer to get that kind of effects? I tried to waterfall effect, but couldnt keep the exposure in check... very nice shot btw :)

Last 2 are just me playing around with shapes and colors and testing my GF's patience. She didn't seem to mind sticking around with the retard that everyone was staring at while he kept on shooting the wall for 20 minutes :rockon::rockon:

What.... And give up all my secrets ??? :BLAA:

:justkidding:....... In this shot I used a #8 ND (natural density) filter which for those who dont know is basically like putting a pair of sunglasses on your lens :thumbup:

You can also use a polarising filter in shade & get a similar effect.....

And lastly you use the lowest ISO possible & the highest f-stop setting your camera has... Remember BIG f-stop = small hole which allows for a slower shutter but a tripod is essential...... Hope this helped ya :D


Ohh yeah & thanks for the kind words...

Ok, finally have had a little time to play with my new camera. Here are a few that I think are neat (at least to a beginner they are!).
