ididit... put your money where your mouth is

"this is the only mis-information you bitch about I will gladly clear up. Since your community college course did not cover it. I have been shooting 18 years. You dont hold a candle to me.... I will type slow so you understand. "



There are people who become experts and researchers and scientists, and use their expertise for humanity, that is where we get our Nobel prize winners.

There are people who become experts and are generous in showing their expertise, and who see the world their own way and are willing to let others see their vision. That is where we get great artists, writers, actors, etc. and Kevin is one of those.

There are people who become experts and use their talent to boost themselves by putting others down. That's where we get sad and wasted lives, because that path can never lead to happiness and fulfillment.

I feel sorry for the guy who said the above quote. He was given the gift of talent, and squandered it.

Aw, now you're going to make me post a portrait,aren't you?! Keep in mind that I don't have anywhere near your experiance! I've only been doing this for about 2 years and am self-taught.

your right Lucille... with his very first post he wanted to come after me stating I was shoveling flase information or misinformation as he put it.

Hey Kev. Is there a way to get over the internet lesson since you have the exact same camera as I do??

I know why you've taken so many pics (its part of the job)...

I would be willing to teach you everything I know. All you have to do is ask questions.

come here you

I have a Nikon D80. I shoot just about everything. But mainly my targets are extremely fast moving road racing motorcycles.
I need to set the camera to RAW.
And just learn modes and shutter speeds.
Of course the instruction manual teaches nothing. I'm trying to self teach but it's not going well. I also am not sure what questions to ask.

To stop the action of racing bikes... you need a fast shutter speed. In order to get the correct exposure at a fast shutter speed... you have to change one of two parameters. The ISO setting or the apature.

f/4 on the apature lets in more light than say f/16... the downside is you loose Depth of Field (DOF).

I dont know what ISO your currently shooting at.... but you can try to bump it up to ISO 1000. This will let in ALOT of light... and then you can really increase your shutter speed to stop the motion of the bikes.

IF you shoot RAW format... you will have to have software to process it. I have never used the software that comes from Nikon so I cant tell you how good it is. I use either PhotoShop CS2 or Lightroom
