Im new to DSLR but I just bought one for the heck of it. can someone tell me the perfect settings for outdoor still portrait type picture for a nikon d40x in manual mode. also the indoor. thanks

 

its depends on how bright it is out side. Look at your meter and it will tell you how much you need to adjust F/stop and or shutter speed.

 

so what will i change to match the light outside?

 

i don't know how to use Nikon's Read your manual it should tell you.

 

too lazy. I WANNA SNAPZ... ok im uploading pics right now

 

my first "action shot" from my street

soccer mom time attack


I am teh noob

 

the shot of the trunk is actually really nice.. i would say darken it up a little bit.. and if you want to take action shots.. speed up the shutter.. something like 1/1000 if you wanna freeze something moving that fast.. maybe even faster if you can

 

how do i do that? LOL i dont know which one is the shutter speed. I just mess with it.

 

new pics

 

^ how do u get the lighting that nice?

 

i shot the plant inside under flourecent lighting, outside, i used my polarizer.

Just adjusted my aperature and exposure settings, to get what I wanted.

 

can someone help me define in human words what is aperture and exporesure?

 

Someone posted a quick easy to read tutorial in one of the threads. It may be this one. Go back a few pages.

 

hahahahahaha good one. Once again good clean shots Jon.

^ thanks, book marked

 

I wish we could get an OT Photography sub-forum like the Gaming and TV ones. It would make conversing and viewing pics easier. Just a thought.

 

just playing around





And this one just got out of the paint booth...

 

Jon, imo think the shadows kill your shots.

Andrew, I love the one of the Boxster.
