When you look at a dark night sky there's not enough light. The camera can't find any contrasting objects to focus on. You need to turn autofocus off and wait 10 minutes or so for your eyes to adjust. Then you manually focus the camera. Of course you use a tripod and a remote release and don't bother if it's windy out. Here's an easy to read article on autofocus... HowStuffWorks "How Autofocus Cameras Work" |

This could be a great ad for Lightroom or any other photo editing program for that matter..really shows how important editing is,.,..,what happens after the pic is taken is nearly as important as the shot itself...These photo tools are absolutely necessary for serious and even semi-serious photography and this is a great demonstration of why...

.. I assume you have a decent camera with at least 6 MP..,.That is all you need in 95% of the situations you are in ..marketing hype aside,,, I would guess this picture is what it is because it was probably shot with a telephoto and the colors were enhanced with photo editing software..cant be absolutely sure but that is my guess...Get a program like Photoshop Elements for $80 and you will be fine..( Dont waste your money on the full Photoshop for $400 plus..it has features that are not needed for 99% of what most people do...) If you get some books and learn the program you will find pics like this are quite easy,.,. Last edited by RiCharlie; 08-17-2013 at 12:46 PM. |

Yeah but I didn't know the ant was even there until it crawled over in the middle of some rapid fires. I was really trying to just get the detail on the little guy as he climbed.
