I tried it with one shop light instead of 2, does it look any better??? :lol:
hey meg
Nicer light and a beautiful fish. The focus still needs some work. Did you check on that Macro mode, and your ISO Settings?

Ok, I set the ISO on 50 (which is the lowest it would go) and I couldn't get anything but blur, so I put it on Auto, which seems to be working (that's what I've taken all those pics on) The macro settings - I looked in the index, went to the page it said, and it was flash settings? On, off, red eye, etc. So I don't know about that. :roll: :DD
no, macro photography is for closeups, look on the camera, should have a little sign of a Flower (usually) that toggles on / off. if you have it , it's a macro setting. It works really well for close ups, and blurs the long shots, gotta turn it off for those.

Ah, the flower! Yes, I think I used that on the above pic (rather than the mountains! lol) I just have to make sure it's always on now...*sigh* if only the fish would hold still and pose for me, it would be much easier!!
Just so that everyone can help better, the pic above was taken with this parameters:
Aperature: F2.8
Exposure 1/4 sec
EV0 0
No Flash
Auto White Balance (should be changed to Flourescent if possible)

Here is another one for you, did the "auto-levels" in photoshop, so the rock looks green (it's not) and the sand looks brown (it's not) but the Zebra looks gooooood! :lol: Oh, and I took this one this morning, before you told me about the flower :wink:

Nice looking Grammode.
the focus is off, But thats because your macro mode
wasnt on. Once you turn it on, the pictures should be better.
