I took my digital camera into my bedroom and tried to do a pose similar to what she had done with her SLR camera.

| Too low |

| Too high |

| better angle, too bright |

| too much flash |

| way too much light I tried to turn off the flash but the camera refused to take a shot. OK got that!!    This is going to be a real exciting learning experience. To think that Vivian used a film camera to get those shots is boggling. She would have to shoot a roll, get it developed before she even knew if she had the correct focus. I can take a lot of shots and choose instantly which ones I want to keep. I have taken a few photography classes-mostly with my old SLR camera. these included developing my own prints in the darkroom. I was quite reluctant to buy a digital camera but finally gave in and bought a Nikon. The photography teacher at Niagara College used to say "Make every print count." Now I still try to make every one count but I have the luxury of deleting the prints that I don't like and only keeping the good shots. I am looking forward to seeing what Al does with this challenge. |
Look in your camera manual for the museum manner setting. . This setting is meant to take pictures where flashes are not allowed. It should be in your settings where you can do a portrait setting' ,action,snow , landscape etc. most point and shoots have it.
