It looks easy to use, I just haven't tried yet. We have the same camera, only mine is the first generation. I've really enjoyed it and I have so much to learn still. As for sharp images, maybe your shutter speed is too low? It seems to me that many of your pictures are in low-light situations, so keep an eye out for your shutter speed. It's also not a bad idea to hold your breath for a moment before you snap your photo! At one point I was having a terrible time with focus (which yielded slightly blurry images). I ended up discovering that my model had issues with this, and I learned how to calibrate my two lenses to my camera. It sounds scary, and I learned a lot in the process, but it solved my problems with focus. Google to see if your model has issues with lens calibration/problems with focusing. Maybe you will need to calibrate your lens, too!Days Ordainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720968940848407655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654315170777628138.post-57632390568919904052017-04-07T22:13:00.115-07:002017-04-07T22:13:00.115-07:00Hi Katherine,

I haven't ever used the automatic WB setting. I like the results on cloudy, but indoor lighting still throws me - so maybe the automatic will help! Thank you for that tip. My biggest struggle seems to be that my images are not tack sharp. I think I must have my appeture too big (so depth of field too shallow) maybe? What do you think? I do not know what Expo Disk is. Is that a post-editing tool?<br />Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it! :-)Carol Blanchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031701738706519481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654315170777628138.post-14535601753063881542017-04-06T14:49:01.646-07:002017-04-06T14:49:01.646-07:00Keep up the good work! I'm so impressed that, ...Keep up the good work! I'm so impressed that, given all of your responsibilities, you have managed to persist in your photo-challenge goal. Your pictures are great. Here's something to experiment with... try working with the white balance settings on your camera. I typically use automatic WB, and sometimes the cloudy day setting. When taking pics inside, you can adjust based on the type of lighting you have. This is an area I often struggle with, so please share any discoveries you make! Apparently Nikons tend to give a yellowish hue when compared to Canons. Eventually, I'd like to learn how to make adjustments with an Expo Disk. Have you been happy with your camera?Days Ordainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720968940848407655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654315170777628138.post-30130666712485179162017-04-05T11:39:44.133-07:002017-04-05T11:39:44.133-07:00Aw, thanks, Jill :-)Aw, thanks, Jill :-)Carol Blanchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031701738706519481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654315170777628138.post-15726279486400227492017-04-04T07:53:31.176-07:002017-04-04T07:53:31.176-07:00great photos - I love the self-portraitgreat photos - I love the self-portraitJill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.com
