17 year itch!by JayneRyanComment by JayneRyan: Originally posted by Magnum_za:
You have a superb camera with 51 focus points, but they get in the way of Macro/Close-Up photography. Switch OFF APS-C or APS-S and use manual focus or use selective focus points and tell the camera where YOU want it to focus (p78 in the D300s manual) Increase you aperture to f/8 at least for this kind of shot. f/4.4 is not enough. What lens did you use? |
Thank you so very much for this advice. I am a total beginner with all this equipment but love using it. I used a Nikkor 200mm f4D ED-IF AF lens which I have only had a short while. I have been so frustrated with the focus, I will try the manual option. Thanks again! |

Soar!by JayneRyanComment by Yo_Spiff: Watch your JPEG compression. Your file size is only 20k and I see compression artifacts all over the place in this. Compression kills detail. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under challenge limits. |

The Whisperby JayneRyanComment by JayneRyan: My first entry since getting an editing program. I got Lightroom! I am very happy with my score as I am very much a beginner at this!
Thank you very much! |
