Hi Guys,
I have managed to buy the Canon 600D twin lens kit from JBHiFi.
Last weekend went to circular quay to try it however when I saw the images it were all having Bluish tint in it. I assume its because of the WB settings. However even when I shoot in auto mode I am not happy with the quality.
I was wondering if there are any basic settings which you all can advise? Also some tricks and tips for taking good photographs.
Cheers
Set WB to auto
Learn what these 3 are and what they do to your photos: ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture (F)
Basic photography done.
hmmm… another person who thinks an dslr is just a better point and shoot..
my advise, if you're a person who is interested in learning then use the number of youtube videos/websites/books (that's how I did). It doesn't have to be camera specific to learn how to take a picture, if you want to know how to use your camera there is nothing as good as going through your manual! it really helps in this case and comparatively it isnt that much to read up on, have your camera with you when reading to it all makes sense.
If by chance you don't enjoy self learning then it might be best to enrole into a basic camera course to give you a crash course on Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO.
If you just learn the basics of those three things your photos will dramatically improve, after that it is really practicing to use those functions faster (so you dont piss off family members when you take your camera out).
Enjoy it, and take some aweosme photos!
hey sorry to hijack (but somehow related), but let see if some expert able to help.
i have fisheye lens pentax da 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5.
when shooting outdoor sometimes the blue sky becomes white!
other occasion, picture becomes too bright.
already play with F settings, no luck.
i have better result with playing shutter speed. is this the only solution?
kit lenses are known to be on the lower end of quality as well, with quite high f stop numbers, which can effect how much light is let in. the lower the f number the better the lens should perform. this isnt law though, because as you learn to maniuplate the camera settings you should be able to get half decent shots no matter the situation.
you could possibly benefit more from getting a decent lens.
this one gets pretty good reviews for a lower end lens - http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/canon-ef-50mm-f18-ii-standard-le…
and this one does a better job, but would be more suitable once your skills get better.
