One thing I am trying to get the hang on since a while is Long Exposure.
I've often played, but never have been persistent in trying.
Two days ago I took my Tripod with me. Since there was not much to shoot on my short walk, I took the opportunity to play a bit for the Mentorship program.
I set the lens settings from 'active' to 'normal' and turned also the 'image stabilization' off (as suggested by Ron).
I manually set the aperture on 22 and played through various shutter speeds and exposure compensations (i did the viewfinder thing, without looking at the display for a few images, but had to check to see what the results were).
Suggestion in my manual was to go with 'Bulb' setting (Shutter speed) for Long Exposures. That doesn't help me when I have very mixed conditions (gloomy day with bright snow). I had to set the ISO on very low and also maxed out the exp. comp to -5 (the darkest possible).
But heck, at least I can see now the milky softness that a long exposure can produce on running water.
That was my goal :-)
Easy for some, a tough one for me, for whatever reason ;-)
