Now that I know how to embed an image, please let me know your thoughts on these pictures. Tell me what you might have done differently to compose a better shot.


Shot w/ 18-55mm kit lens: ISO 100; Exp 1/40; Shutter 1/41; F-stop f/4; Aperture value f/4; Focal 55mm; suppressed flash

Shot w/ 55-250mm ISO 100; Exposure 1/60; Shutter 1/64; F-stop 5.6; Aperture value f/5.7; Focal 179mm; Supressed flash

Same 55-250mm: ISO 100; Tv=1/32; F-stop 5.6; Aperture value f/5.7 (Why the .1 differance in F vs Aperture ???); Focal @ 250mm; No flash (suppressed); Exposure 1/30

Again with telephoto: ISO 100; Tv= 1/166; F/10; Aperture value f/10; No flash (suppressed); 1/160 exposure time; Focal @ 60mm

Beautiful scene...

In shots 2 & 3, why is the F-stop and Aperture value different? I realize that it's only by .1, but curious what would cause that.

Thanks

1. nice shot, but the B&W seems a bit flat. get in there and mess with contrast and levels.
2. looks like a quick snap. doesnt really do anything for me. test shot?
3. not a huge fan of the subject, but again, the B&W conversion could use some contrast...this one seems flat as well.
4. nothing really to say about this one. composition doesnt do anything for me, but thats just my opinion.
