Advertisement Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Hi Dartmaster, Take a look here Leica X1 First pictures. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
kschwarz Posted March 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2010 Well, these photos tell me that the weather in March is a ton better in Arizona than it is in upstate NY! Besides that, there appears to be a ton of motion blur in almost all the photos. You might want to try using a higher shutter speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted March 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2010 Agreed, a higher shutter speed seems necessary for these shots.. in fairness. AZ is a tough environment for many reasons, none the least of which is finding content that hasn't been done to death re native art, faces, and caves. The further challenge is the light here... it's BRUTAL, for all the reasons the NE is not... lack of people, places, ridiculous sunlight, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogenis Posted March 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2010 Dart, there is a lot of motion blur here and it shouldn't be, because it is super daylight (some 15 EV). Here are some thoughts: 1. Take a look and printout this wiki page: Exposure value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You are interested in relating lighting conditions with EV and f, t. Your camera has limits and you can't shoot easily below 1/f of your lens which is 1/35s. It appears to me that you forgot it to full manual with very high aperture and very slow speeds. Sunny 16 rule means that you should use something like f/16 @ 1/100 (I guess ISO was 100). That's why you got blown whites and blur. Try this instead: Before going fully manual, either choose aperture priority (to control DoF) or shutter priority to control motion blur. This way the camera will help you a lot by choosing the correct exposure. If you want you can also dial some exposure compensation, if you see burned highlights forming (you got a nice live histogram, use it!). Otherwise go fully manual to fully control exposure, but choose a decent f/stop. Don't go to the limits of your lens on such a day! Pick a decent f! Avoid f/16. If I guessed right... edit: Oh and another thing: Shoot RAW now or regret it later. Imagine RAW as your digital negative. You will always have it, you can always process it whenever you like now, or 10 years after when post processing s/w is gonna get great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan States Posted March 28, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2010 It's not just motion blur: It's that and a combination of the low res uploads and the crummy quality flikr gives you unless you upgrade to pro accounts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
