I just got done reading this book on photography tips and such...gave me a few things i was excited to get out and experiment with. My first time shooting in manual mode Went to a birthday party and thought it was the perfect opportunity.
My point was to play around with the F stops to see what the difference was.. I wanted to see for myself what the book was explaining and try to better understand it... so please correct me if i was heading in the wrong direction.
The larger the F stop # ie; F/22 , the more in focus and less? depth of field? for landscapes and such...and the smaller..ie; F/5.6 for more bokeh a shorter? Depth of Field... Im still trying to understand the meanings of each... ill get there.
Anyways, I shot these all in Aperture Priority mode so that i didnt have to worry about settings the shutter speed at the time... was around 3-6 pm somewhat overcast and rainy day out at the park... all shot with my 55-200mm.
Id *really* like to know how i did! Settings are as stated, let me know if there is something i didnt include. Also, i did a little PP to all of these tried fixing some overexposed/under exposed areas... messed with contrasts and such... didnt too too much.
1.) 1/800, F/ 4, ISO 250
(Couldnt help it.. the expression was priceless.)
2.) 1/320, F/7.1, ISO 200
3.) 1/500, F/4.5, ISO 200
4.) 1/100, F/8, ISO 200
