Only the 2nd time in over a year I've picked up my D90.
Still rusty, took me a full 15 minutes to remember how to put it in self timer mode ( of course I refused to just google it this time).
At one point I had gotten so proficient with the D90 and my various Canons. But work took over a couple years back and then life events.
Still quiet hard picking it up with out my one & only partner in photography crime but it's therapy.
I'll carve out time weekly to do it specially solo light paintings.
Someday, stock, architectural and automotive photography may be more than a hobby ( hence the daily composition practice on my Instagram feed while in search of a better vehicle to do it via the cell phone ).
You should start noting your camera settings for some pictures so us newbies can pick up some tips :)
You got it, let me see if I remember for these:
- Tri pod set about 4ft high (because I have a small one and any taller it get's wonky with the heavier Nikon D90)
- Manual mode
- I took test shots at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5sec
- Also tested with various F stops: F3.5-5x
- Not sure what each of these are now
But shooting myself was super hard to get me in focus !!!
But I did learn a bunch, since I can take as many pictures over and over and not annoy the poor soul acting as the unlucky subject ;)
Every weekend is the goal ( if I find a safe place at night ). The little 20 something security guard showed up and gave us a lecture about skate boarding and the garage shutting down in 30 min so just when I was figuring the best settings we got booted ... grrrrrr
I've been shooting mostly in shutter mode - where I change shutter speed and the Nikon automatically adjusts the f#.
All I really know is messing with white balance, shutter speed, ISO, and f#. So these details would be nice :)
Those 4 things cover the big stuff. Shutter priority mode is great! I usually set it to that and put the camera on tripod for anything less that 1/20th ( that's where my hands shakes too much and introduce blur ... not the steadiest hands here).
If I do night time photos and play with settings I'll try to remember and note it down.
