Slowbee Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Just check that it isn't on AUTO ISO.....the camera always selects the highest.Get a good tripod for sunrise and sunset pics. I dont usually leave it on auto. But on checking, I see the problem. The ISO was 3200, way to high, 1/40s f/29. It was on a tripod. And I use the countdown timer so as not to get any shake in pressing the shutter release. ISO, to high ..... possibly better at 200 or 400 ?
lock Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 If you want "noise free" then you need to shoot at lowish ISO with a longish shutter speed and a tripod.Finding the balance between these two will give you that. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/6727159537_6b3f4797a1_b.jpgIMG_9797 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6215/6250924158_67fae5dc2d_b.jpgIMG_8054 by OddPix1, on Flickr Jup, I get the ISO setting..was taking pics at ISO 100, F11 on a tripod but the image was still "noisy" I only seem to have this issue with sunsets/sunrises that have all the orange/blue etc at night pics are fine... probably just need to practice more..will try and post some examples tomorrow...(on other PC)

Slowbee Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Was your wife or kids playing with it? Well the wife plays with it occasionally ..........the camera that is. lock 1
Slowbee Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Ja Mr Dangle, just had a look, that does seem odd! But that is what is says. I was going for a wide aperture, for depth of field. Me still learning this art.

Me still learning this art. For me a good guideline for max detail is to take the max f-stop of the lens and double this.Too high an f-stop and lens limitations starts to show up, high f-stops work very well in macro work. lock 1

geecee Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Keep that photo to show the grandkids for when they ask what the BIG 5 used to be as opposed to the BIG 4!!! Was thinking the same thing. Could be able to sell images of rhino soon for good money. Sad state of affairs tho. Really is disgusting what's happening. lock 1
