boardjnky4:
yeah I usually do use aperature priority mode. Helps me focus more on the shot and less on camera settings, but it always seems that when its really bright out, its hard for AP to get the right shot. OK, here is a good one that I had trouble with:
Beautiful spring day, not a cloud in the sky, and I see a helicopter start to approach in the sky. I set the aperature so that the shutter speed would be on the slower side. But still when I took the photo, I saw a stand still of the blades on the helicopter, no motion. In that case, when theres a ton of light, and you still want to capture some motion, what do you do?
edit: later on I am going to post some beginner pics taken with a Nikon D80 so I can get some opinions here, including ^^^^
I think it would be easier to do on Shutter Pri. I’d set it to 60 or so and see what you get. If it’s too bright out, there is nothing you can really do about that other than getting an ND filter.
