I'm Still not that good at using my camera to it's full potential so if anyone could tell me what settings I may need to change in order for my my pics to be better quality that would be great.

The biggest problem I have been having is that the night skys and dark water turn out a bit grainy in some shots. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix it?
Cheers
Harry




Your grain problem is caused by the long exposures on your digital camera. It seems that the longer you leave the shutter open, the more likely it is for your digital information to become a but scrambled and confused. Unfortunately the only way to fix this is to widen your apperture to allow for a faster shutter speed, or you could shoot in film which can handle long exposures better. The better the camera, the more easily it handles grain, but it is a common problem which has not yet got a solution.

Cheers Carly,
The way I have found to get around it is to shoot in RAW so I can adjust the shadow amounts and eliminate noise. I have the same sensor as ur D70 in my camera, although for some reason the D50's are slightly less prone to noise at higher ISO's. The only times I get it are, as u said, when I need a high f.number for city shots etc. I have found that it is not too bad anymore.
And about the film, I would prefer to live with a bit of noise which I can remove in photoshop than go back to film! It is so annoying and I know nothing about it!

Do u shoot in RAW?

Come on Harry, you have to give yourself a bit of a challenge sometimes!! Who knows? You just might enjoy it.
And btw I was hoping you'd be able to help me out with my Landscapes and Achitecture assignment i have coming up... it seems to be your forte

Hey, your shots are awesome, but watch the horizon line.... try to make it straight or the pics can seem a bit tilted. The cityscape is one of the best i have ever seen! great colours, great exposure, it really draws u in. Great work!!

I shoot in raw when i have room on my card for the file size, and also when i have access to a good computer for converting. With most of my work i have to fit like 500 shots on my card so yeah.

Film is great, but it takes a bit to learn. It is definately an art in itself:)

Once again Harry loving your work, like those random shots you took, especially of the water and the kombi

I use a 512mb high speed card. I would get a 2gig, but im paranoid about shooting everything on one card, then losing it and everything with it. At least if i have multiple smaller cards i can never lose an entire job, i will always have something left.

I find that i get what i need shooting jpg at full res, unless its like a huge landscape where im a bit unsure about exposure, but my computer is not good at converting raw coz i think the program is a bit dodgey and it cant handle the file size.

Mate, I have spent some time going through your pics and I think you are doing really well, you have a good eye and are quite creative, I can imagine that with a couple more years under your belt you will be turning out some really sweet pics.

You just keep getting better dont u Harry. I love the jetty shots. The strong line and the red jumper your mum is wearing really draws your eye to her. Strange how you can do that with such a small subject in the distance.

Btw have you considered doing some model shots? Just something a little different..

Looking great wink.gif

Lance, No thats how it was, there is only a slight increase in the shadow darkness in this one.

Hey Harry, love the shots taken under the bridge. The black and white version of the first photo is a really good way of drawing attention to textures of the wood. Just goes to show you don't always need colour!
Talk to u soon, Ange x

I got bored the other night so I thought rather than trying to take an picture of some shit little thing in my house in a cool way, i thought i would take a picture of whole rooms in my house with me in them in cool ways.

I had done a bit of reading into super-long exposure, like 10-30minutes! so i tried it out. i set my camera to it's lowest ISO (200), apature at f.22 (inside) or 5.6 - 8 outside (moonlight is bright!), set the focus to manual and got some blu-tac and tape to hold the button down.
I got bored of doing things like this one

Which is a 15 minute exposure of my pizza oven outside in the pitch black at about 11.00pm at f.5.6 (outside).

So I tried doing this kind of thing, with a torch and me as as the model tongue.gif There is NO photoshopping in any of these, just turned the torch off and u cant see me move around.

this was my first attempt
then this
finally this arvo I closed the blinds and my sister shined the lamp on me
and this turned out

U guys shoud try it, its fkn easy!

Cheers
Harry

Yeh thats the effect I was after. I kinda like it.

That stuff is awesome fun. I did that in an attic in New Norcia.
What you should try is being in a pitch black room and using your flash (you know the one you nearly blinded me and Ange with by flashing it in our eyes!!) and get someone to flash you with that in random parts of the room. Because the flash is faster and brighter you wont be blurred in the shots.
