I do think that it's the Aussie light as much as anything (OK I know there are plenty of other places which have harsh light, too)<br /><br />There are just such extremes of light and shade when the sun is shining brightly, that it's difficult to get right. It's good when we are trying to capture shadows, not much good when we aren't, yet some people seem to manage it.<br /><br />When you work out how, please let me know!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-54733032954815118142009-06-30T14:33:12.892+10:002009-06-30T14:33:12.892+10:00I'm still having to try and remember to check ...I'm still having to try and remember to check the WB and ISO. I choose the aperture, then fiddle with the shutter speed till the camera says its right. My problem is that it often isn't so I think I'm metering off the wrong place, or need to learn to over or underexpose in certain circumstances. I guess its just practice. I'm pretty happy with the night shots but the day ones are a bit all over the place. I don't know how to handle a shot which is part shade part sun etc.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-10328496842904688942009-06-30T14:27:08.664+10:002009-06-30T14:27:08.664+10:00I am going to draw up a list of small things that ...I am going to draw up a list of small things that I need: hood, brush, wipes, cards etc etc.<br /><br />Then I am going to read through my manual from cover to cover like I did with my old camera.<br /><br />What I tend to do is overkill a new skill. I take a photo, check the histogram, take, check, take, check.<br />Then I can eventually do it by rote: I just take a guess and it turns out to be bloody well right for christs' sake!<br /><br />I am looking at the light, judge the aperture. Or I look at the action and think whether I want to freeze it or show it. I already have my WB and my ISO set as I enter into each opportunity. I am a bit bull at gate though.<br /><br />You would not have picked that of me ... would you????Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-90754784409565008522009-06-30T14:21:33.042+10:002009-06-30T14:21:33.042+10:00Re Government HOuse.

And the HHT audience was not ready to see a black man and his mother play dirges. Many of the men in the audience shifted uncomfortably in their seats all bloody night.<br /><br />The average age was older than me. Than ME!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-8337047736245210012009-06-30T14:19:39.243+10:002009-06-30T14:19:39.243+10:00Re Ferris Wheel ..
