Took a lot of shots at the Parade today, but was disappointed with the outcome. Got quite a lot of soft shots and out of focus shots…obviously I had some settings wrong, but that’s okay…as long as I can understand what I did wrong. Got a few decent shots anyway, of which I think this is one.
Nice shot Robbie. Really vivid colours here.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the blurred ones.
Practice makes perfect. You wouldn’t beleive me good to bad
ratio when i first picked up the canon.
True Graham..but it’s still frustrating. If I learn from it fine…then the time is worth it. Might post a few up here with Exif to see what others think.
Thats not a bad plan, maybe a “Where did I go wrong” section would work.
A place where people knew they were mistakes and jsut to point out where to
make changes.
I really like this one, lovely vivid colours, and he really stands out from the background – nice depth of field. Looks like the D80 is serving you well.
:D
Thanks Paperdoll…yeah..is really great using the D80, but still getting to grips with the settings and stuff. To be honest I haven’t been able to spend the time on it lately that I’d like to…heading out this afternoon for a few hours (day off work..yaaay!!) so gonna play some more :D
Patricia..this is one of the better shots…I have a LOT more with bad focus and blur..still a bit mystified…but is all part of the learning process..and I still did manage to come away with a handful of shots that I like.Either way..was a fun day with my daughter anyway :D
