For me to see and read, how so-called photographers keep shooting, until they find a decent image is too much to appreciate.. BUT, to read that "I tend to shoot on automatic, because I have difficulty......etc" reminds me of a situation, when I only had one press 40 bulb, lost my exposure meter, and only two sheets of Gevaert 4x5" sheet film left, and had to shoot in almost total darkness.. Using a flashlight, and "painting" the scene with a time exposure produced the result required.. BUT then, that was in the "old days of a pure art"...

I tend to shoot on automatic just because I have difficulty focusing in other modes. I don't know if its my eyes or the camera. I would love to do more with the settings then I do. I'm still taking lots of pictures but haven't worked on my web-site in a while. I have some great shots I want to put up soon. As always thanks for the great info! Hi Roy,

I found the article on shutter speed enlightening. I tend to shoot on
automatic just because I have difficulty focusing in other modes. I don’t
know if its my eyes or the camera. I would love to do more with the settings
then I do. I’m still taking lots of pictures but haven’t worked on my
web-site in a while. I have some great shots I want to put up soon.

As always thanks for the great info!

The f/stop is a ratio between the diameter of the aperture in the lens and the focal length of the lens. "perhaps set the shutter speed to an F STOP of 1/500 or 1/1000" The f/stop is the aperture on the lens and as such has nothing at all to do with shutter speed.

F=f3.5, 11., 16., 2.8 and everything up to f-64 (or pinhole}are referred to as f-stops. "What f-stop and speed did you shoot that picture?" answer, "f 16 at 1/100th of a second or at a 'hunnert'." "What ASA?" 64" Amy I saw nothing wrong and enjoyed your lesson. Maybe, you took Dennis advice and found and corrected the mistake before I got here. I make those mistatements too and I have been shooting for 40 years. lenny www.lenny-jaeger.com Over here in the USA we measure aperture openings by F-stops.

You will see this written as either “f stop” or hyphenated as “f-stop.” Either way it means the same. The shutter speed exposure of your camera is “The speed of the rotation of the shutter inside the lens, measured in rotations per second”. Okay, that’s very nice but what does that mean in your digital photography?" I think you really need to have someone vet your work kiddo. 8-) God bless you and yours, Dennis G’day there Amy et al,
