Hi, this is my first attempt using the Manual Settings with my first Digcam. The idea is that the first car should be as sharp as the last one, which I could not acheive in the Macro mode. Paul
Paul, that's a nice shot, did you use a flash?? as I see some reflection of a light on the backdrop??
Thanks Alan. Paul, I did not use a flash.There is a window behind the bulkhead flatcar and it is the afternoon sun reflecting on the background. The picture is still a bit dark, I guess I should use more exposure time to make it looking better. I still have to learn a lot to operate this camera, but I am pleased with the first results. Remember this is N-scale. Paul [ 15. March 2003, 10:05: Message edited by: completely nuts ]
Paul, I find with my camera I use a shutter speed of 1 second but you need to use a self timer and tripod to reduce camera shake. Here is a picture of a mini tripod I recently received
Thanks Colonel. That mini tripod looks like a must have in the near future. Love your bridge, looks realy great, not to mention your intermodal freight. I am just a starter and need a long way to go, but all things need time I guess. I included a picture of my Kato RDC units. Shutter speed 4 seconds, diaphragm f 8.0 . Paul
The minitripod is very cheap I paid $10aus which is around $5US, and it is great for taking modelling pics. Here are a couple of pics I took yesterday of my BNSF locos which are about to be repainted to MOPAC
