East Pier

I am sure this is the one millionth pic of this pier taken but just trying out my new Nikon D300 like a little boy with a new toy :)
All comments very welcome

The whites at the top of the lighthouse don’t look very sharp. Did you use a tripod?
Nice shot though. Enjoy the new camera. Lucky bugger. :lol: :lol:
mmm actually yes u are right Irishshaqua. No I didnt use tripod and I was using aperture priority (if that makes a difference)
Must post a few of the other ones.
And very festive its looking too-
Looks good, apart from the issue about the tripod-
Can’t see the exif, for some reason-Good luck with that-
looks like a great camera-j
Got the EXIF data. Was shot at F2.8 which is wouldn’t be suitable for this type of pic.
Still a very nice shot there.
Hi nfl-fan
How u get my photo specs ?…just curious.Thank you for your comment. Why is 2.8 wrong for this type of shot ? As everything is in the distance dept of field shouldnt be an issue ?
Cracking subject.
If I were you, I’d head back and crank up to f8 or f11 and shoot it again, than you should get the sharpness into it.
And if you haven’t got a tripod, its a wise investment, as is a remote camera release.

Not sure about the intimate details (I’m sure someone more knowledgable will fill you in) but a good rule of thumb is two stops higher than wide open should produce sharp shots nearly all the time. In your case, that probably would have been f6 or f8, depending on what lens you were using
In a nutshell: A low F-Stop such as 2.8 is used to produce a very small depth of field… i.e. you want to focus on a very specific item, whereas as a higher F-Stop is more suited for taking images, such as landscapes, where you want to get as much sharpness throughout the image as possible.
You might want to Google for Aperture and Depth of Field e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field
As for the Exif information check out Page 2 of this post where snaphappy gives some info relating to “opanda exif viewer” which, when installed, basically allows you to right click on an image and view its Exif information. Like snaphappy says very useful in learning how people went about taking a shot.
