darkpbstar · May 20, 2008

very nice pictures. I see alot of people did flowers, and that is also what I did, and they were my first flower pictures, so it looks like I picked something good to do, and that is what makes me think of spring.

This is just a practice run to see if I have the correct tags. I'm an excited newbie, experimenting with both the camera and the computer.

I think the photo is way to big.

I spent the entire morning looking for "signs of spring" to shoot for this thread. It was a gloomy overcast morning and I couldn't find anything colorful. I decided this toad would have to do. Toads are a sign of spring I suppose. They just aren't too pretty.

Thank you so much.

It really isn't that difficult you just have to have patience. I set the camera to manual and choose an aperture between f8 and f11. It was on bulb. The ISO was set at 200 and raw format. I then pointed the camera at one section of the sky and began shooting. I just hit the shutter and wait and see if lightning strikes. After about 15 seconds i hit the shutter again to close it and try again. Hope that made sense. :lol:
