Camera settings for actinic shots


Chad

Recommended Posts

Ok, I know the obvious answer of get a new camera (Im working on it, but I probably wont get around to it until later this year)...

 

At the moment I have a cannon SD850 (decent point and shoot) and I was curious if anyone is taking good actinic pictures without a DSLR, and what settings they are using.

 

Thanks!

Well you already posted your entry for POTM, but I thought I would chime in anyways, maybe this will help some other people. This is what I used to do... With my camera that I use, sony cybershot h10, it comes with a bunch of preset scences for different situations. I took a bunch of pics with all the different ones, found the one that looks best then started taking pics in manual mode tweaking the settings. Usually after a couple hundred shots I find 1 or 2 that look pretty good :biggrin:

 

Thanks for your entry in POTM

haha, that sounds like what I do :) take 100 shots to get 1-2 decent ones!!

 

No problem, it gives me an excuse to play even though my pics are usually not anywhere near those a decent photographer takes!
