I will be looking for your post next year to pin on my boards.. <br />And thank you for the tips I am pretty sure my daughter (canon camera buff) will understand them.. <br />I found your site because you watermarked your photo, Thank you. It had been linked to a Spam site (which I reported to Pinterest) The sad part is it was repinned way too many times with the bad URL. <br />Any how you are awesome...

You're right: When you meter off the tree, you're also focusing on it. If you're in manual though, when you release the shutter and then focus on a different area, the settings you adjusted won't change. They'll stay just how you set them. The only thing that will change will be your focus. :) Christina Conklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439303643600999860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738067185231015591.post-51357476552755138482012-12-18T00:12:55.946-06:002012-12-18T00:12:55.946-06:00Silly question here: When you meter off the tree,...Silly question here: When you meter off the tree, then you are also focusing on the tree right?

You would need to have your camera on the ...Joyce,<br /><br />You would need to have your camera on the "A" setting. This setting is also sometimes called "Av" for Aperture Value. What she did was manually set the Aperture (which the Av setting will let you do), and then used the auto-metering function in the camera to let the camera set the proper shutter speed. If you used the "M" mode (full manual), you would have to select both the Aperture value and the shutter speed manually. Using full manual will work well, but will required you to mess with the settings a bit more. <br /><br />You do not want your flash to fire. I think that the part about the lens really matters. If your lens can't get to f/2.8 or lower, this will not work very well (unless your subject is very still and your using a tripod). Also, not sure which camera you are using, but many cameras have a feature called "spot metering". This enables you to lock in a metering point (your subject) in a semi-manual mode (Av), which should dial in the shutter just right (based off the aperture and ISO you have set. Most of the "pro-sumer" Canon's have this feature.<br /><br />Hope that helps. -MattAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154447190068970812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738067185231015591.post-25235139573002302952012-12-05T20:31:37.287-06:002012-12-05T20:31:37.287-06:00So was your camera on a manual or automatic settin...So was your camera on a manual or automatic setting? If "A" setting, did you use Aperture (A), Shutter speed (S) or M or Portrait or something? <br />Also, did your flash fire? I can't figure out how to get all of my settings set independently like you did above. Please advise. Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941293311258874493noreply@blogger.com
