Aperature

What aperture do you use? I rarely go over f/8 for two reasons.
A: It doesn't make much of a difference past 20 feet, and when I want longer exposures a ND filter is where it's at.
2: Dust on the sensor. No matter how many times you clean it a new piece of dust finds it's way on there within 10 shots.

Do you want me to move it back? :fap:
Sometimes, depending on the light and just for the hell of it I'll shoot at f22
I'm purely amateur, but I do love photography and experimentation is part of it.
I haven't noticed much of a difference though in the smaller apertures.
What bugs me the most is low light photography.
Until I can pay for quality glass I'm stuck standing in the weirdest positions and stock still just to get handful of shots at a show, I've got that 50mm f1.8 prime lens that everyone with a DSLR does and that does the job for the most part but the lack of zoom is limiting.
I don't only photograph shows, but it's a quick bit of money and it's the only time I really have issues with light as I have to move as well.
And I wish I had an f/1.8. The largest aperture I have is f/3.5.
The 50mm 1.8 prime is only a hundred dollars or so new it's probably one of the best valued lenses as far as I know.
I use Canon, I've got the regular 18-55mm kit lens and a 28-105mm that weighs so much I usually just take it with me in case I need to fend off muggers.
I'll look into those filters, I love natural light especially for food photography.
But I'd kill for a nice little light box, if only I was more handy.
Why not just make a light box?
Cardboard box + white spray paint + lamp sockets + power cords + daylight CFL lamps + Hot glue gun.
The first DSLR I bought was the first Sony Alpha actually. I returned it because it had a horrid amount of noise even at 400 ISO. And this was at a time when I hardly even knew what I wanted in a camera.
I've been happy with Canon for a while, but man. I loved the shutter sound of the Sony.
The shutter sound is amazing.
I know I have to upgrade soon, and my collection of lenses isn't exactly vast so it would be easy to switch brands.
Maybe if you convince me with your macro photos tomorrow.
My XTi is a tad weak in the awesome shutter sound department.
I'm really interested to see the photo quality now haha.
I seem to remember that the raw format was a bit weird though, and I sat around a lot waiting for photos to convert so I could process them in photoshop.
At least, I think I remember that.
