You drive a sports car when you could easily drive a POS that can get you from A to B. Same thing with camera equipment :stirthepot:

I'm a very amateur photographer and that's what I do as well. On my 35mm high aperture lens I shoot everything at 1.8. I've been trying to bump that number to 2.2 or 2.5 when the focused object is too close to avoid what you are describing... but often there is no time for that.

I don't even know what wide open means.



Just kidding...

I'm the opposite lately. I usually don't go below f/4 unless I'm desperate for light.

Red, if you want a little more detail in the shadows you can just dodge in PS real quick.

Do you guys shoot full manual most of the time or do you do shutter or aperture priority?

I have no editing software as of now. I'm actually hoping to get some advice on what to buy.

It would also probably be helpful to be directed towards a good learning resource:icon17:

A friend of mine swears by Lightroom.

I walk around in aperture priority in case I need to snap something quickly, but I usually go manual for anything I want to have turn out well

What's funny is I have this desire to get these DSLR cameras and then I see some of the shots taken with standard digital cameras and I'm like :|

People with DSLR are just like to show off their big cameras and look professional. :roflpuke2:

Get a grip and use a lens hood for extra "look like a pro" points :tup:

m4a1mustang 05-23-2012 03:07 PM
I definitely need a battery grip to add to the look.

Unless it's of something moving, I'm usually in aperture priority because its a lot quicker to compose a shot and control the DOF. Before using the manual setting, I take a shot full Auto, see what settings the camera uses and go from there.

I am super excited about shooting video with the 60D.
