Picture of the Day

[EagleRock]

What's the motive [cTx]EagleRock? I can't make out what you want to show to us. Imho there's far too much on the picture or not enough if you wanted to shoot landscape.

Does your camera offer different control settings? TV, AV or M? Then you could decide yourself what's important, instead of letting the camera decide. I think there must be some good english web sites that explain the effect of aperture, ISO and exposure-time. Your camera chose F2.8 for both of your pictures although it wasn't necessary. The ISO-rating is at 100 and the exposure time is very short, seeing how short your focal length is. As a rule of thumb you can say, as long as the exposure time is shorter than 1/(focal length) you can shoot without a tripod (even without image stabilisation). And always remember: 1/4 is less then 1/2

I wanted to take a shot of the blueberry flowers.
I didn't let the camera decide for me, I did choose f2.8 because i wanted the background to be blur but i let the camera decide the exposure-time, there was plenty of light that is why i chose 100 Iso otherwise i would have went with 200 "I Can't go higher because the noise will get crazy with my bad camera"
Do you think f2.8 was too high ? I'm still trying to learn
Here is another picture hopefully you like it more "you can see how much noise in the picture even at iso 100 "
