The Lair

Thanks man! I'm trying.

 

CAN we see your custom shell?

 

bokeh is nice but it all depends on the lens, some have peak sharpness curves beyond their most stopped down point.

the lens i carry with me all the time shoots well at its most stopped end point but on the fast shooting can produce a hit or miss.


i personally shoot in 3.2 - 8 range depending isolation or scenery shots

 

No idea what any of that means but I enjoy taking pictures and would like to get better. Those are some nice photos there! You're instagram is a favorite of mine

 

I decided against using the bull for the protein shakes, as my lovely wife had suggested, and decided on this blender.

 

i have that now, it gets the job done -- doesnt compare to my blentech but i didnt want to fork down 100$ for a plastic container...

 

a or aperture mode is good to learn in before you go full manual. Good way to figure out exposure compensation and metering

 

looks to me you missed focus by a hair...where are you focused on this pic?

 

Noted. Ill have to wait until Wednesday to mess around with it.

ISO is shutter speed right?

 

It doesn't let me select the focus points

 

iso is your sensor sensitivity to light, higher numbers take in more light but makes noise

it should let you

 

I will look into it tomorrow. I was testing out in my house, but the subjects are boring

 

All this talk kinda makes me want a good camera to take on trips and catch some good pics. Any suggestions for a beginner?

 

no subject is boring just gotta compose the shot....you can make a air freshener exciting with lighting or even a watch. lighting is key

 

shoot with what you have, i shoot mainly now with my samsung s8+ and canon g7x on trips

my buddy brandon only uses his google pixel

 

Depends what you want. Do you want a point and shoot like David just got, or a DSLR?

 

Shooting in raw with something other than a phone really helps in post processing. That was the main thing I was looking for when shopping for a point and shoot. Soon phones will be able to shoot raw and I won't need to carry anything else.

Cell phone editing apps are nice to a point. I use Snapseed to work on my photos like the ones below are off one I took just now and the other on my last Wheeling trip up abbot.

 

Any certain programs I can use or tricks for an iPhone user?

And nothing fancy because I'm still a beginner and don't want to rush into and blow a bunch of money at first. Budget point and shoot would be nice and easier to carry around.

 

I don't know anything about point and shoots, so your guess would be as good as mine. I'd just read reviews and find one in your price point.

 

Snapseed for phones is what I use

For photos outside the cell I run them through lightroom.for quick adjustments or Photoshop for bigger stuff
