Hello everyone! First topic on this forum, hopefully more will come [emoji3] excuse my poor English!
I developed an interest in photography last summer, when I found out how to use the manual focus on our family camera(Panasonic lumix dmc fz18) . Since then, I am trying to self teach myself. I have understood how aperture and shutter speed work, and exposure too.
So here's the thing.
Last week I was with my school at a vacation. While in a bumpy bus going at 100 km/h, being just out of Vienna, we met this epic sunset. It was cloudy until the very end of the sky, where its blue part was still apparent. It was as if the sky was on fire. At the same time we were passing in front of many of those rotating wind thingies for electricity (can't find the word). It was perfect. So, I pulled out the camera, maxed out the optical zoom, and started playing. I had to set the shutter speed to 1/50 or 1/60 to get a non shaky result, causing the image to be dark. So I lowered the f number of the aperture to its minimum, brightening it up somewhat. However, I still needed to bump up the iso. This gave me a great shot after like 50 tries, but the noise is apparent, especially on my pc.
Where did I go wrong?
