Learnin takes time.........

Postby Rifleman » Wed Apr 12, 2006 11:38 pm

So here is another installment of the capabilities of the new camera which I just picked up last week......

These are shot in the kitchen with nothing special and only the short portrait zoom.....I hope nobody finds them to be " rude "......it's only WATER !

I did a few of these a couple of weeks back. Cant remember if I posted them or not? I know I sent a few to Doug asking him to have a go. Did you take yours in the dark?

Anyone heared of burst-shots? Takes several shots in sequence... should make it easier.

I like the idea... And the shots...

What camera are you playing with btw?

What type of burst shots are you talking about ? rapid shooting in auto drive mode ? or bursting things like water balloons and such ?

My new camera will only shoot about 2 1/2 frames/sec so its not really going to do better than 'Luck" when it comes to timing......nothing can compete with that....

The camera I picked up is an Olympus Evolt E-500 with two lenses....
......these shots were taken with the short (portrait) zoom and internal flash only.....shot on Aperture Priority at F-16 to enable good depth of field and allow the flash duration to become my shutterspeed......

Burst shooting or Drive Mode is especially beneficial when you can add in features like Bracketing for Exposure/White Balance/Focus/ or indoor Flash......varying these things can ensure that you get at least one very acceptable frame from the number you shoot........

Ken, try some of these in a pitch black room. with the flash. It gives a really good clear photo with practise.
