What is the best setting to capture Homecoming pictures?
I have an EOS Rebel t3i with the manufacturers lens. Looking to take typical couple pictures with a fountain, gazebo, train and on the train tracks with full sun.
I usually stick to the standard settings. Had someone change my settings once and the could definitely see a difference in the quality. TIA
It sounds like you have no experience or training in how to use a DSLR. You really need a basic understanding of all the factors that effect your images and their appearance.
The “standard” settings are, I assume, the default auto settings the camera uses. This works, but does not allow you to use the full capabilities of your camera and/or lens. My suggestion would be to get a book on photography basics, review your camera's user manual, and maybe even take a photography class in your area. Then you'll understand what you can and can not do with your gear.
Whatever you decide to do, you really should just play around with your camera's settings before you go to your event. Trying various settings that you don’t understand while at a shoot is a guarantee of failure.
Good points Stan.
Here are some good online resources (that I keep handy) for the OP...
