I know there are tons of other threads similar to this.
But the more i read the stickys the bigger my headache is.
Anyway, I'm using a Sony Alpha 100 (I think its a general newbie camera nt too sure)
It just dropped on my doorstep one day (Someone gave it to my parents but i'm the only real one thats interested in it)
I've been shooting (Or trying) quite abit but the results never turn out the way i want to
I read this from somewhere (OF, GG etc etc)
What i would like to know is,
How do experienced members actually practice?
As in when you shoot how do you determine your shutter speed , Apeture setting, ISO.
From using the camera so far, shutter speed seems to be the easiest to use.
The faster the image the faster your shutter speed (I think)
But when I try and move more indepth by trying to test DOF shots
I end up getting results.. that are less than desirable
(I'm still trying to decide what type of photography to pick though)
Another thing, i've seen many other photographers pick a "Select" field to take photos in.
Are there "General" Photographers? lol
If anything i would pick Portrait (Coz i like to take photo of human expressions(male / female) using background to enchance etc etc..
Though i don't understand how those people can find models :x
Anyway.. first thing to learn is my basics and i think mine's pretty screwed up
I've read through sulhan's intro so i think i understand
1. Shutter Speed - To capture movement fast or slow
2. Aperture - To make Depth of Field shots (Bigger the aperture the more blurred the image)
3. ISO - Adjust this for Night time shots?
(I can't understand the flash part though)
Any.. erm.. tips?
