Re: Show Your Snaps...December 5, 2022

That's great you were out taking pictures. Yes, sometimes the lighting conditions just are not favorable. Could you take them maybe at a different time of the day? How about trying in the evening or at night?

Taking them at night is a real challenge. Here's one at F5, 22mm FL, 1/40th of a second shutter speed and ISO8000. At night, keep the focal length short if you want great depth of field, while you open the aperture up to something like F3.5 to F5. I use AutoISO in manual mode, so the camera picks the ISO level. Sometimes it's ridiculously high. But your camera will make that choice for us. I had to have a relatively high shutter speed because I didn't want any motion blur when the people moved around.

Or try it on a sunny day. Don't give up. With digital photography you have plenty of opportunities to experiment, I would love to see what you come up with.
