beautiful little pair

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

My settings:
ISO – 200 (outside on a sunny day but in the shade)
shutter speed – 1/320
aperture – 4 (wanted to be sure they’re both sharply in focus)
lens – 50mm 1.2L

My manual settings:
ISO – 160 (sunny bright day, was shooting in open shade from a building)
aperture – 2.8 (love 2.8, love the focus and intensity it brings to the subject and the background is beautiful but seems less important, not super sharp)
shutter speed – 1/800 second (just compensating for the amount of light that needed to come into my camera, lower/slower shutter speed would have been okay for movement but wouldn’t been overexposed)
lens – 50mm 1.2L (can you tell this is my favorite?)

a family shot

Friday, June 25, 2010

A lovely family shot just enjoying each other. Here are my settings..

Manual settings:
ISO – 640 (in full shade, but was a little dark because there was a cover over the top of us)
aperture – 4.0 (an easy starting point for getting a family in focus is that you start with one f stop per person, f4 for 4 people, not always necessary, but good starting point if you’re learning)
shutter speed – 1/160 second (again often the lowest/slowest I go when I’m shooting with active moving kids)
lens – 50mm 1.2L

summer learning

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

This summer, I’m aiming to put up a whole bunch of images (blog much more regularly) and share what my camera settings were and why I chose to use those settings. Simple, right? I hope so. And my goal is that you lovely people would put your cameras on manual and try some of this out. So, here goes…

Manual settings:
ISO 160 (sunny day but shooting in open shade from a building)
aperture: 3.5 (needed it to be a little more closed so that both of the kids would be in focus)
shutter speed: 1/160 (this is my safe zone, any lower/slower than this when shooting kids I find I get some movement in my shot)
lens: 50mm 1.2L
