MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I like the 2nd shot because the light from the setting sun has turned a rather boring scene into something more special by catching the brickwork and window frames. Your camera has coped well under the circumstances. The best light for landscapes is often the hour before sunset or around sunrise, when the shadows are long and there's a warm glow to everything. Looking forward to seeing your shots from the woods Not sure how your camera works, but if you want detail in the dark shadows you need to point the camera at the dark areas and lock the exposure there (if that is possible) but that will mean that the bright areas, like the sky will be over exposed. Alternatively, look for interesting shapes, trees, etc, to silhouette against a dramatic sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the second photo i just tried to take the picture just above the sun , the first photo was set on sunset in the settings & it made it that orange colour the difference when i did the same pic on auto was quite a bit less dramatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 do you mean the length of time from when i click the button to when the pictures taken ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I like the second pic, but you need sun glasses to look at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davyt63 1,845 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 do you mean the length of time from when i click the button to when the pictures taken ? yes there should be a mode for it, when you press shutter release a timer starts and catches everything in the time you have set. regards davy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
