tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hey Guys, just thought I'd pop some pics in here, we went to the park today and I had a good go with the 7D although it was cold and over cast and started to rain we didn't spend a lot of time but I think for my first outing with the dogs the shots came out pretty good. I am getting on top of focusing which was my biggest thing. One thing I have noticed with canon is the colours I think are really great and very consistent, I shot all these in jpeg and hardly did anything to them in PP. If anyone has any CC feel free, I hope I will get better as time goes on, i do feel in the short time I have had the camera my pictures have improved already, now I just need the weather to get better and we will be set!! Perils of the local dog parked, its shard with the pony club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 You have been a great help! You still haunt told me what you think of this lot? ok? or not? Passable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 what was your shutter speed on the very first photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) The first one looks a bit fuzzy still. In some of the shots the background is distracting. But all of them are better than what I could do so well done :) ETA: I think I like the third one the best Edited August 8, 2012 by Lollipup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 at the 70mm end, also it was cropped. f/5 1/200 iso 100 I like this next one, seems to be in focus, but a much higher shutter speed at 1/1600 f 3.5 iso 320 the lens was at 34mm in this shot.

huga Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yep, 1/200th is way too slow for action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks Lolli, I liked that one too, again a faster shutter speed than the first one at 1/1250 and its not as busy in the back ground. ISO 100 and f/4 and the 70mm end of the lens. I cropped it a bit too, the very next photo was this, he looks like he is on a mission! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yep, 1/200th is way too slow for action. Actually looking at it now compared to the others its a wonder he was in focus at all. :laugh: I went back and checked the exif, and it was definaltey 1/200 and looking at the pictures each side of this one they are only good for the scrap heap so it must have been a fluke! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 bump up your ISO to 1600 in those conditions, and aim for a shutter speed of 4000 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 A huge improvement! If I were you I'd work primarily on getting shots technically correct and to the point where you know the settings automatically. Once that is right then start on getting composition etc under control and being creative. It just takes time and practise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 bump up your ISO to 1600 in those conditions, and aim for a shutter speed of 4000 plus Why would you bump up the ISO so high? Wouldn't that cause graininess? Genuine question, I'm a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that cause graininess? Genuine question, I'm a beginner. for action shots in those conditions you need a fast shuter speed = high ISO on the 7D ISO 1600 is more than fine if you expose correctly Edited August 8, 2012 by anniek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will keep that in mind, thanks. I probably have read it somewhere before and it hasn't sunk in yet haha ETA because I wrote Nikon 7D instead of D7000 whoops!

tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks Annie, I wasn't sure about putting it up much higher than 400 as the sky was so white and whishy washy especially where they were jumping, so I thought it might completely blow it out and look funny, next time I go I will experiment a lot more. Jo I think your right, I just wanna get the look I want then I can aim for composition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo I think your right, I just wanna get the look I want then I can aim for composition! ISO 400 is pretty much my 'standard" - I very rarely go any lower (number) than that. Mostly shoot outdoors anything from 400 to 3200 - and indoors 1600 - 6400 But I do have trouble holding the camera steady, which is why I need a fast shutter speed - even for portraits..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks again for the advice, Snook so basically your saying if the iso is higher then the shutter speed will be faster yea? So If I stay in Aperture priority and play with the iso then the shutter speed should adjust accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm assuming anniek's suggestion for a shutter speed of 1/4000 or higher is a typo and she means 1/400 No,not a typo..lol One of the main reasons I upgraded from the 400D - which had a max of 4,000 was to get a max of 8,000. I usually shoot as close to 8,000 as I can for action - greyhounds run bloody fast you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ok got it! You should see my white girl run, she is lightning fast! She is defintley not your average pet dog. :laugh: Think she might have been a whippet in a former life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
