Hi,
let me give a brief introduction of myself. I like well-captured photos and looking at those really makes me inspired to get my own shots. so I looked around for an entry level DSLR.
I got an old model, 2nd hand canon 350D kit lens, and 2 days before I collected my DSLR, I had read up online tutorial. I learnt few things but there are still things which I want to understand are not found online. I got myself a tripod (which was given by a friend for free. [thanks bro!]) because I wanted to try night shots on buildings like the Fullerton Hotel, Esplanade and Merlion.. so the tripod is there to give a stability. 3 hours shooting, I still can't figure out the correct use of functions. next day, went to Marina Barrage.
when I tried to self-timer, it doesn't seem to focus on my face. (or as matter of fact, my face and the boyfriends')may I ask few questions, I used P mode btw (it's suggested by the previous owner of the DSLR)
is the standard lens I'm using suitable for night scenes
if not, what are the suitable lenses?
how do I adjust DOF? is it dependable on the focus?
so when I take self timer, how do I make sure I get the focus?
I still don't quite understand the "Aperture". anyone care to explain to me?
is shutter speed link to exposure?
also, my friend had gotten this portrait lens, and when I asked him, he didn't know the ans.
when we use the portrait lens, do we still have to switch to Portrait Mode?
this question is necessary as is just out of curiosity
