I apologize in advance for series of dumb questions that I will be asking as I am trying to unwind myself from auto mode and take control of my camera. I was trying to shoot a time interval photos for my son's crystal growing experiment for school to stitch them into a time lapse vid. Below is one of the images. Nikon D5100, shot full manual at f2.8 1/10 shutter 50 mm zoom 100 ISO, no flash because I couldn't figure out how to dial it in properly it was giving me all kind of problems bouncing off this glass jar. Just looked too bright on LCD screen The exposure indicator on the camera was about 0, the focus light was on, looked pretty sharp in viewfinder too. The big picture was not as clear as I was hoping it would be. So question is where did I mess up? I tried different apertures and shutter speeds afterwards did not get significantly better results.
