@Loganlamar Not freaking out over here!! God is too good. 😀
This is really interesting and helpful. Thanks for all your help, by the way. 😀 Mmm, good points! Yeah, that was the problem with my first camera.
#2. Oh yes, true! But if you raise the ISO, it’s going to be brighter, right? Even if it’s brighter, with it’s a high ISO, can’t it be grainy?
#3. I didn’t know that! But it makes sense!
#4. Well, actually, maybe it’s just because this is my biggest problem (I think) at the moment, but I actually do judge photos by how grainy they are. I actually would walk up to a photo and say (in my head) “This is not a good photo because it’s too grainy.” 😀 And also, my last camera made the edges of all (every one!) of its photos blurry, so I’m very particular about the edges of all photos. LOL. 😀 Sharpness is actually a maker or breaker for me! 😀
THANK YOU for explaining White Balance! I will make it a priority to learn that on my camera before… Friday! Now that you mention it, I know what you’re talking about. And yes, that is right! I forgot about that edit setting!! Thank you! (Later – I just edited one of the retreat photos with it, and it turned out pretty nice!)
@jamesstaddon Thank you for the good reinforcement. 😀 I need to remember these things! 😀 Thank you so much for the articles too! I’m a visual learner so the first one was especially helpful.
So, with evaluative metering, does it prioritize whatever manual point is selected?
Oh, that is a good thought. Actually, I was thinking about the pictures from the Scriptorium (the event I’m shooting this week) that were taken last year. The person who took them (unable to attend this year) had a basic and old model camera, and although they weren’t ‘awe-inspiring,’ exactly, they were really good! I saw them on the screen they played the slideshow on. 😀
It was the retreat that Allison Bontrager runs in Iowa. I don’t think it has a name! 😀 It was really good. 😀 Do y’all know the Bontragers?
