"When I grow up" B&W version....

[Jaemie]

okay, Jamie...thanks. If I chose a larer f-stop, then how, being I shot at pretty much the highest ISO possible, would I have remained at a fast shutter speed of 1/200?

Because you are in Manual Mode. Regardless of your other settings, if you set the camera for 1/200, it stays at 1/200.

I'm almost 100% they were. 'm not lying..these were taken all over a month ago and I don't have a program that tells me all the info I was shooting in so I try and just remember. I take so many over a month and try different suggestions, shutter priority, aperture, manual as per the man that was helping me said to do......don't always assume the worst. I'm not lying, I just don't have a program to tell me what eexactly I was shooting in and it's hard to remember.

You could easily and much more kindly say "you know, as per my data, I believe you were shooting in manual." I would say "I'm sorry, my mistake, it's hard to remember."...and go from there. Yes, I became defensive at first, but, Can you blame me?

okay, so Jaemie...if I used a larger f-stop, stayed with the high iso, and kept that fast shutter speed, I would have been underexposed?

I don't know where in New York you live, but in all but the very smallest of towns there are usually camera & photography clubs of one sort or another. I think what you really need to do is join up with one and seek out some one-on-one instruction so that you can get immediate feedback and critique. Everyone learns best by different methods, and I'm starting to suspect that the shoot-post-implement method is not the best for you. I think you could be an excellent photographer with some refinement of basic skills, but until you get that sorted out, you're not going to be able to progress.

AMOMENT, a few technical suggestions: On your camera, MENU, CUSTOM SETTING MENU, a Autofocus, a2 AF-S priority selection, and select FOCUS. This will not allow the camera to take a picture before focus is achieved. Do the same thing for a1 AF-C. Also in CUSTOM SETTINGS MENU, under d Shooting/display, turn the Volume on. This will give you an audible confirmation when the camera is in focus. It doesn't work 100% and you still get out of focus pictures once in a while, but it will help a bit.

Over expose.

A lot of this back and forth could be done using PM's.

At one time I thought you couldn't use another's company name? Picturesque Photography is in use, can it be used because "by Erica" is in it?
