Thanks for the invite Michael Mossiagin - I work at Pepsi in Winston Salem, NC and am an avid amateur that is also self taught like Yannis Niklitsiotis - Look forward to some great shares! This is a shot I took of Pilot Mountain using f/1.8 50mm prime lens stepped down to f/9 edited with Lightroom 5.6.
Yannis Niklitsiotis - F stop, f/1.8 is wide aperture, so stepping down to f/9 I didn't let as much light in so the shot wouldn't be washed out with light.
ReplyDeleteNo trouble at all glad to help! So I'm not as familiar with Canon but I have shot with EOS Rebel t3i. On my Nikon D3200 where you would adjust shutter speed there is a button you have to press as well as turn the dial to adjust for aperture. -2 - +2 is exposure value, with aperture you can control depth as well. I would think your standard 40D comes with 18-55 lens which probably has f/3.5 - f/5.6 range.
ReplyDeleteDo you shoot manual at all?
ReplyDeleteAnytime. Feel free to open a hangout as well. I'm at work so may be delay but yes - love to help as much as shoot! Helps me learn too.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to meet you! Welcome to the community. We are looking forward to see you first posts/comments.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot, and great conversation. This truly is a friendly and helpful community. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome...
ReplyDeleteYannis Niklitsiotis what Canon model do you use? On my Canon D550 (or T2i in North America) I can, for instance, adjust the aperture ( this "f" thing) by selecting "Av" (aperture priority) mode first - you will see F value on your screen. Place a cursor on this value using <- and -> arrows and then scroll the wheel near the shutter release button. As you scroll, you should see the f values changing. The higher the "f" value, the smaller the hole, opened in the camera lens and therefore smaller the amount of light passing through it during the shatter opening. The longer the exposure the more light passes to the sensor or film. A rule of thumb is the smaller the hole, the deeper the depth of field (a "sharp" area on your picture). To achieve age to age sharpness, appropriate for - say - landscapes you may want to use f values of 11 or smaller.
ReplyDeleteYannis Niklitsiotis the controls of your camera should be similar to mine. Nice lenses!
