Hey Jay, my pleasure buddy. We have all been 'taking' pictures for years but 'making' a picture that's the key and it takes either a lot of skill or a good eye.
You have both and I can say that based on my own experience of trying to get my head around a DSLR. There is so much to learn and the first thing to do is turn of all the auto functions and go totally manual and RAW.
That's when the learning really started for me and the more I use the manual settings the sharper the images and more punchy and impactful they become.
It's a steep learning curve for sure but anything worth doing takes that kind of effort.
My son and I were out doing some astrophotography last night and the cloud cover was almost 100% by the time the sun went down but I did get this sunset.
My son is a photographer and he is constantly helping me to improve but my brain is like a seive but some of the ideas are sticking.
It seems like such a simple thing to do, adjusting apeture, fstops and iso but jeez my brain just flip flops more times than not! lol
Thanks Mate, and I can relate I knew all about the ISO Aperture exposure triangle when I started with photography 40 plus years ago, but had forgotten so much when I got back into it i have to admit
I learnt it all again but trial and error, I would go out take multiple shots with different settings and then see what worked and what didnt and then it got into my brain, I must prefer learning hand son than reading tutorials etc.
I do manual now and again just to keep on top of it but I use aperture and shutter speed priority a lot when walking around the city especially
Thanks again !tip
Thanks Jay, I know what you mean. I did a photography course in the 1980's before digital took off so it was mostly about developing the film and making prints and now a totally redundant skillset.
I'm still learning what this DSLR can do and I've had it over a year. It is an amzing piece of technology.
Thanks for the tip Jay right back at ya! :-) !tip
