I receive a ….???? Nikon D80
My first reflex (SLR my period first). I'm not that great with photography, but with great desire using this specifically to take photos of competition in the exhibitions of horses. Camera comes in a week and read through the field guide NikonD80, and 2 other photography books. I'm doing the 18-135mm Lens Kit with him. Still learning all about what an f-stop and ISO, but the field guide helped a lot with that. Can you see the picture you want to take on the LCD screen? (without looking through the viewfinder?) Would f / 4 and 100 ISO is good for fast action shots of horses jumping / motion without blurring barrels? I am terribly new to all this and now have a Sony Cybershot that I can get some decent picture sometimes. I'm just wanting to do this fan of horse shows, but who want to learn to use the camera as well. Any other recommendations on learning and use of this camera, especially for I want to use. I can not wait to get!
The 18-135 is a great range for the first and all around the lens. You'll like. ISO is the sensitivity of the film (or digital camera sensor at the time). High ISO is used to take pictures in low light. However, you get a sound more with high ISO. I never take my camera outside ISO 100 simply because I like my image to go free of noise. It's a bit difficult to explain the origins stop of f /, but this is what you need to know: this is a measure of how open the goal is, and how much light is let in. A low f / (as f / 1,4) means that the lens is wide open. A high (like f/64) means it's a pinhead, and does not leave much light at all. Each complete F / Stop your climbing means The lens was left bright half of that before. Normally, the shutter speeds are going up twice as well, so you can get the same exposure, but with different apertures and shutter speeds. For example, you could use in 5.6 and use 1/60s f / 4 to 1/125s and get the same exposure. Both the opening and shutter speed control the amount of light in the picture. However, as we can use together, we can use their individual properties for the purpose we want. Aperture controls the depth of field, or how the image is in focus. A large f/2.8 aperture, as you will have a depth of field and will be useful in taking pictures or just draw attention to the foreground or background. A small opening like f/32 will keep a lot of things in focus. Speed shutter controls the amount of blur. If you were taking photos of these horses in motion, it takes at least 1/125s to freeze its motion. Shutter speeds slow (less than 1/60s) require a tripod (or a VR lens) to get rid of the blur that results naturally from his hand trembles. You do not have to put your camera in full manual mode (M) (and I suggest you not until you know what you're doing). Put it in A (aperture priority) or S (Shutter Priority) so you can choose the effect you want and then the camera will compensate for what you need. Most importantly, however, always taking pictures and trying new things. Observe what is happening, compose their images, not just the drink, and enjoy!
