The camera I use is actually my parents camera, so it is pretty old and well-used. The camera as other disadvantages due to its age besides the hot pixels. It may just be time for me to get my own camera that is newer.

I did find in my camera’s shooting menu that it does have a long exposure noise reduction…Read more

It’s tricky for me to get things perfectly level.

@jenna I like how the clarity brings out the moss on the roof.

@laura-aome I have recently watched that lesson. I’ll have to try desaturating the green a little.

Thank you everyone for your advice!

Would the picture not get too light at f/4 or f/2.8 having it on the bulb setting though?
Lord willing, I’ll try again soon!

Yes, I do feel like the background in the second photo should just be the black cloth…and come to think of it, maybe in the first photo also, as, like you said, it is colourful and distracting from the actual food. Thank you for pointing that out, as I hadn’t really thought of that before,…Read more

How does everyone get such sharp images (especially for close up shots of flowers)? Do you use a tripod?

I just have one very small bone to pick. 🙂

most computer/phone screens physically don’t have more pixels per inch than that

This certainly used to be true, but high resolution screens are becoming much cheaper and more popular nowadays. Most phones nowadays have anywhere from 400-600 ppi displays. Even laptops a…Read more

And at @cheesestick and @jamesstaddon for your suggestions and thoughts about the teleconverters. I haven’t had any experience with them, so that’s really good to know about how the aperture is affected. I have the 70-200mm f/4.0, so the aperture being f/8 would be a pretty big drawback for me.

Prov 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”
Ecclesiastes 7:1 “A good name is better than fine perfume”

Obviously, the “name” in this context is referring to one’s reputation more that simply one’s legal personal or legal business…Read more

Thank you for taking the time to critique that. @blessingscaptured Sarah, it’s great you were able to use the bird feeder as a means of attracting the bird without having to include it in the frame.

It looks authentic…because it is. The camera is literally falling. I would be curious to know, how did you capture it mid-frame like that, in focus? And the leaves are literally falling. They are not photoshopped…Read more
