This has been one of my goals this year. It's a goal where I start to get to know how to use the camera to get different results based on lighting situations that I may come across when shooting photos.
Here is one of the photos I took while changing the shutter speed. This was taken with a one second delay, giving the blur effect as the blades on the fan spun around.
I also worked on changing the exposure compensation, which I think could also help a bit to get a better shot out in the field. It's the (+/-) on top of the D50 and can be set between +5.0 exposure compensation and -5.0.
Below are a couple of examples. The first is with +2.0 setting.
The next is with -2.0 setting.
The last is with -1.0 exposure compensation setting. I liked this option best.
I think by using this setting I was able to compensate for the additional light that was being cast on the subjects and get a better picture.
I have been following Ken Rockwell's guide to the D50. I'll definitely be giving him a donation for the work he's done on his site as I've already found it very helpful as I try to learn more about the settings on the D50.
I'll do some more studying tomorrow evening and then get ready for practice this weekend. I have a golf outing on Saturday and plan to hit the local hiking trails for some nature shots on Sunday.
Time to take the lens cap off!
