local skateboarding photos with my friends

 

wow so many haha. number them in the future so we can easily critique.

otherwise...they look great! i love skateboard action shots.

 

good shots, work on some post processing and turn those shots extra ordinary

 

Post processing?
What's that?

 

^Things done to a photo via image editing software after it's been uploaded to a computer.

 

i never used to PP, but now I am slowly learning how to use Photoshop.

 

that's assuming the camera will guess the right aperture. i've tried this failsafe approach in the past when i was first learning and came out with all underexposed pictures. it's safer to shoot panning shots in manual and set your shutterspeed and aperture yourself.

 

UPS just dropped off my 35 1.8

 

i love this thread. some of you guys are geniuses, i been tryin to do night shots and come to realize that its almost impossible without a tripod. got my tripod today, so hopefully tonight i can take some pics to see the difference.

 

Damn..this camera is kicking my ___.
I'm trying my best to research online but I guess time is of the essence.

 

yeah i use to work with photoshop alot, took classes for it and became really knowledgeable with it and would mess with it daily. but i havnt installed photo shop cs2 since i got my computer 3 years ago, since then i have been trying to just simply take better pictures and get what i want the first time.

 

sorry for all the post, i just wanted to get this all on here and see whats what for so long but i was restricted to posting on this thread for so long.

photo shoot i did a while back with my friends rx-8 when i first got my camera.

What is a standard setting people use when taking close ups of objects?

 

^^ manual mode... but thats just me.

 

I mean like aperture and shutter speed..
I understand manual..what is started for all of those while taking up close photos?

I turned everything onto manual, but I just couldn't manage to figure out how to get the pictures to not be blurry?
I couldn't get the lens to focus in on anything.

hey man i have a d40 as well. i had it since last december, but i went to basic training so i didnt get to play with it much until recently. but anyways i was online lookin for somethin and i found this site. i think its pretty informational.

 

this is what heartburn looks like before in goes into your body

 

Looks like your white balance was off for the tC/RX8 shoot.

 

when you shot manual you to check your settings every shot or especially when there is a possible change in lighting or angle.. usually I set my aperture to the widest and just play with shutter speed and ISO for lighting. To make it not blurry make sure you are in autofocus, otherwise you have to carefully set it up manually which often takes some time. When in autofocus sometimes you would have to half shutter few times or an extra few seconds until you will get your desired focus on the subject..
