Pretty dog, but it seems a little OOF or you focused on the nose and couch behind your pet, IMO. I could be wrong, tho.

 

[tevo]

yeah, i see what you mean. like i said, this was the first day i got the camera. where would be a better focal point in a situation like this?

 

[Alistair]

Tevo,

The eyes, IMO.

 

[tevo]

okay, thanks muchh

Yeah for people and animals, always focus on the eyes (unless of course you have a really good reason not to). Also, 1/6 is a really long shutter speed for that focal length unless you're using a tripod, but what confuses me is the ISO setting. It must have been near dark in that room...

One last tip is to look up the "rule of thirds." You could have moved your composition a bit to the left and not had so much empty space to the right.

Keep shooting, and enjoy your D7000. I'm jealous.

thank you for the advice!

yeah, it was pretty dark in the room, and I did not have a feel for camera control quite yet. (I think i shot in aperture priority or something, not Manual)

I am familiar with the RoT, and I originally composed it according to this, but it did not look as good. also, the dog wasnt sitting still so I was lucky to catch him while he looked adorable and not all

As for the focus, it makes sense to focus to the eyes. Thank you for the advice!

Talk of composition is a bit much at this stage in the game.

Shutter is too low, but since it was shot on aperture priority the camera has to compensate somehow. That's why it's blurry.

 

[tevo]

i seee.

like i said, i hadn't learned the camera at the time, and i didnt really have time to properly compose / set everything (or know how to as far as settings)

thanks
