oonycxwilloo's Official Picture/Question Thread

[oonycxwilloo]

Ok... Got myself a new camera to play with and also so you guys won't have to suffer looking at my horrible photo's that I post up of my stuff and trying to figure out what it really looks like.

Please feel free to criticize about any aspect of the photo's that will be posted here. Advices are 100% welcomed.

Question(s) of the day

1 - Can someone explain what ISO, Aperture, and Shutter speed is (more in depth's to what it really is).
2 - How and when do I know I have to adjust these settings


Don't laugh...

in layman's terms: ISO(light senor level), Aperture(size of the opening hole), and Shutter speed(speed the hole open and close).

Guys, Thanks for the extremely helpful links and comments.

Tobin is right, that's the exact same camera I got.

I will keep trying to get better pics.

Just thought I'd post a pick of what the camera is capable of with a basic watermarking program and good lighting..

 

[oonycxwilloo]

What setting is that? How close are you to the coral? Also, is it a top down shot?

 

[Bob 1000]

P setting, macro, continuous shot(it took 4 shots to get this one), about 7" away,Top down shot.. Lighting 400 watt 12k reeflux..
