manual settings for shooting a photo at sunset
My manual settings:
ISO – 320 (evening light, starting to get a bit dark, needed ISO up just a bit, but didn’t want picture to be too bright)
aperture – 4.0 (wanted to capture all four of them in focus when they weren’t on the same plane, referring to depth of field)
shutter speed – 1/400 (just adjusted it for the exposure, not too bright or too dark)
Need to talk about photography in person and actually practice while being taught? Hands on? There are a couple of last minute spots open for my workshop this Saturday, September 18th. Get signed up ASAP. It’s the last one for 2010!!!
I just came across your blog from Paperie Boutique! I’m so glad I did. I love your work and style. I had a question for you on this particular image. Where did you place your focal point since they are not all on the same plane? Would it be on moms shoulder. I get stuck when I have to do this. Thank you.
in regards to my focal point, i probably just pointed it at either dad’s face or mom’s face. it didn’t make much of a difference as to which one i focused on since my aperture was at f4. that helps! :) they are close to the same plane and i’m a distance away from them which also helps. :)
Thank you Cori. :)
