Thanks guys. Johnny i have no idea what that is or how to remove it

Went out and tried again with a bigger f number, as i'm still a total newbie it's a good learning curve for me. this was f5.0 as i was still learning manual settings Once i'd sorted it out (that will teach me to be a man and not read a manual) the sun was almost down. This is using...

Thanks everyone, pointers taken on board and i will get out again soon and post the results to see if i have improved

Shot was taken at 30 seconds. ISO100. On tripod. Unsure what F it was but lens was a F2.8 :/ possible it was taken at F2.8 as i only set it on manual shutter speed not full manual. Camera only has a 5 point AF and as i was using that it stuggled to focus until a passing car lit up part of...

Ahhh ok cheers mate :)

Always shoot in RAW. I dont know much about filters so no idea what an ND grad is, guessing grad means gradual or graduated

Been out and about testing my Sigma SD14, and playing with shutter speed priority to get motorway light trails. Problem is with such long shutter speeds it picks up a lot of light pollution making the sky look yellow. Is there any way to get rid of this on camera rather than in PP as i'm not...

I went out last night to practice some light writing, wasn't interested in the subject, shadows or much else, just wanted to get to grips with shutter speeds and technique. I used my Zafira as main focal point in an industrial area, however all lighting gave a yellow effect to the pictures...

Again thanks guys, only been using a dSLR for a week, but due to the weather only had it out twice, so nerding up until i can get out again hammer my batteries and cards and learn 'on the job' but you have all help a great amount. Gad-westy, your situation was perfect with the moving cars as i...

Thanks for the reply. So it's just a case of playing about with settings to find what works, remember it for the conditions and tweeking them for the perfect picture (or at least what i'm happy with)

I just don't get it, i read some stuff about it but it's just not sinking in, maybe i'm not understanding it properly, does ISO effect shutter speed or apature. I know it changes how sensitive the sensor becomes, but i dont get when to change it or what setting to use. Outdoors in bright...

Thanks guy's, not something i'll really dable with a lot, just wondered how easy it was to do, just an idea to do something creative with what could be a plain/boring shot of some scenery

Did use the search :thumbs: function but nothing really came up :thumbsdown: Anyone on here do it? find it really interesting to look at. Do you really need an expensive len's for the effect, i know it's creating a shallow DoF but keeping everything in focus (im a beginner so bare with...

Hi Mike, It was advertised with a 18-50 lens, i thought it was just the standard lens that came with the body.
