I think you said you have a Nikon? there is something similar I think! <br />these are great starting out photos though!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371069168564017564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793837459767025265.post-26814940369801255662011-09-03T13:56:28.630-07:002011-09-03T13:56:28.630-07:00oops, that should say shutter speed at 1/400.oops, that should say shutter speed at 1/400.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371069168564017564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793837459767025265.post-86869934024077476362011-09-03T13:55:48.695-07:002011-09-03T13:55:48.695-07:00You don't need to keep the ISO at 200 or less....You don't need to keep the ISO at 200 or less... the most important thing is getting the correct exposure. A picture will look much less grainy even at ISO 1600 if it's properly exposed than one that you have to adjust in Lightroom that was taken at IS0 200.<br />I would also not be adjusting my ISO that much. I would adjust aperture and shutter speed... I keep my ISO around 1/400 for moving children. If you get a speedlight, you can have even more flexibility with your settings!<br />have you heard of the book understanding exposure? it's a great book for those just starting!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371069168564017564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793837459767025265.post-79299327724085963512011-08-28T20:26:28.189-07:002011-08-28T20:26:28.189-07:00Thank you Heather!

I started using it in manual mode and it was way better than aperture. THANKS AGAIN!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13531877742253793783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793837459767025265.post-88056511615595213402011-08-26T10:21:13.409-07:002011-08-26T10:21:13.409-07:00Great pics!

Kids sure do move fast! keep your ISO at 200 or less otherwise, your pictures look grainy and have less clarity ( that's if you are in ideal light conditions).You will have even better results once you use your camera in manual and can control the aperture.<br />Great pictures though!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725674579215729993noreply@blogger.com
