Your photos look really good to me; I inherited a quite fancy camera from my son and he is appalled that I just use the automatic settings, but the idea of faffing around with f-stops etc, every time I want to capture a shot is just too much effort. You&#39;ve inspired me to have a little rethink!Suehttp://fadanista.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-74221449226790031992018-07-11T16:47:03.877-04:002018-07-11T16:47:03.877-04:00I loved looking through your June pictures.

Though when I got my first DSLR camera, I could only use the fully automatic settings, so it was a pretty big deal to improve enough to move to the Aperture priority mode! Your photos are gorgeous Diane, so think you have truly figured out what works well for you. I continue to struggle with interior photos, and with this awful heat would loooooove to take all the shots inside! The exterior shots use the woodland trees to &#39;filter&#39; the light and I&#39;ve sort of figured out where to take shots outside for the time of day I need them. Thank you for your information and kind comment! Photography is interesting, isn&#39;t it! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-64342714070617057062018-07-10T15:49:28.381-04:002018-07-10T15:49:28.381-04:00Thank you so much Katharina!

Mine is what&#39;s called a bridge camera (Panasonic Lumix FZ200) and has a fixed lens with really long and short focus capabilities. It is pretty much a DSLR though in all other ways. Do you use fully manual or Aperture priority mode? I prefer the latter myself so I can concentrate on other settings, but I have a lot to learn. I think you have a good eye Lisa! I wish I had the nerve (and the weather) to take photos for my blog outside. My set up is indoors with a large photography lamp, tripod and remote (got my remote of an eBay shop).

And I was afraid this post would be so no...Oh Wow! And I was afraid this post would be so not interesting! You&#39;ve got lots of great questions Carolyn!!! I am far from an expert, and have only figured out over the years what works for me, without overwhelming myself. <br />First.... tripod... yes I do use a tripod. It&#39;s a Manfrotto that I purchased at Sam&#39;s Club a few years ago as a &#39;set&#39;. It came with a backpack that I&#39;ve never used. The tripod is perfect for me.... it&#39;s full size but telescopes to a manageable size. I&#39;ve even made a customized travel bag for it to sling over my shoulders when taking it out for public photos.<br />Second....Yes I set it in place and use the remote. My first camera was a Canon Rebel that did not have wireless remote capability and eventually purchased the Nikon D3300 all because of that reason. I needed the wireless remote! Sam&#39;s Club was running a special on the Nikon (maybe around Thanksgiving time?) and again, purchased the set..... camera, 2 lens, battery, battery charger, camera bag and maybe another thing or two I can&#39;t think of right now for a very good price. Then I purchased the wireless remote online from Best Buy. Oh, the Nikon also has bluetooth capabililty to wirelessly transfer photos from the camera to my iphone as well as take photos using the iphone as the remote. This does not work for my needs, but have seen other sewing bloggers do this. <br />Third.... long range remote..... I&#39;ve recently begun using my larger lens more and more as am finding that is the key to better &#39;focus&#39;, which means I have to place the camera farther away from me and the remote continues to work fine. The only negative, if this is really a negative, is that the Nikon tends to eat the battery power quicker than the Canon... so to be on the safe side, I probably need to purchase a backup battery. <br />Ya&#39; know.... I may need to write another post touching on these points you&#39;ve brought up as others might wonder the same. Thank you so much for your questions and interest!!! Love how we are all part of the greater journey and learning from each other!!! :) P.S. Let me know if you think of more! :)) Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-38365223290470442692018-07-09T20:21:09.980-04:002018-07-09T20:21:09.980-04:00This is really interesting!

Is it a long range remote? Questions...I have questions! *smile*Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980[email protected]
