I'm not sure which set of images I should post... but... I guess I'll just go with... LITERALLY the very first ones...

These were posted all in one post... taken with a P&S... one of those "Do I have what it takes?" type posts.

I didn't ask that in my post, but it was something along the lines of, "So I'm trying to learn about photography even though I don't have my camera yet... tell me what you think about these so I can learn from them" kind of thing.

Dude... I thought this one was SOOOOO cooool....

EVERYONE! EVERYONE! COME SEE HOW GOOD MY PICTURES LOOK!

E. rose!!!!! You're back!!

If you got a like, that means they were that bad, OR the processing is that bad. lol

Greetings,

I'm new to the forum so let me start by describing my situation. I don't consider myself a "real" photographer because I generally only use my camera(s) at special occasions such as holidays and birthdays though I have been told by several people that I have a good eye for it. As you might imagine, most of my pictures require little skill or knowledge to pull off, especially with today's cameras being so smart. I have however come across a challenge.

My nieces are showing horses at the our jr county fair and as usual I am in charge of the photography. Everything was going great until one of the shows ran long and it got dark. Basically I'm struggling between the need for a short exposure because my subject is in motion with the need for a long exposure due to the low light setting. I have been experimenting with my camera's shutter, aperture, and ISO settings but I can't seem to get the picture quality high enough. Does anyone have any tips on how to nail down the settings I need?

My camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z812IS and I have included a daytime and nighttime shot for comparison.

Night

I don't know if it's against the rules but I have also added my response when someone suggested I invest in a DSLR camera. Just thought most would get a kick out of it.

your day shots are a little out of focus. i would definitely use a tripod and step up to a DSLR to get those shots.

Yeah, I don't see myself paying $500+ for a camera...

Upgrading to an SLR would also help you because you can do continuous shots. This way out of a series from 1-2 seconds of movements you can get multiple frames allowing your family members to pick which one the horses composure looks best in.

The camera I have has a burst setting, as for an SLR camera, see the above response.

I appreciate the suggestions but as I said in my first post 99% of my pictures are of kids opening birthday/Christmas presents or blowing out candles ect. Though I suppose I should invest in a tri-pod.

How would a tripod help?

How would a tripod help?

I'm assuming that he thought it would stabilize the camera so I could use a longer shutter speed and pan maybe? :scratch:

I wasn't sure at the time but I knew a tripod would come in handy.

[h=2] I'll play...from 6th August 2010. I got ONE response from over 300 views.

Songs of the Sea...[/h]

Hi, I'm a new guy here and this is my first post. I am already a member of a couple of other photography discussion forums, but I work on the principle that you can never get enough critique and guidance if you want to improve your photography!

Here are a couple of shots I took on an overcast day. The musicians are dressed in traditional sea-faring costumes and playing "Songs of the Sea". They were under a white canvas, and I shot with no flash, trying to avoid harsh shadows etc.

How do they look?

Oh!, and yes, she is playing a trombone AND a drum at the same time :shock:
