Hello, in our fourth part of this series we're going to continue discussing your DSLR's options. I know many equate this much like a computer. They feel you much learn everything at once! As a person who taught himself computers, please don't think of it that way. You learn the basics and then add to your knowledge as you go along. Remember learning is a lifetime endeavor. So here we go. Auto exposure modes. Your DSLR's fully automated setting is called program. In this setting, the camera's computer picks the aperture and exposure duration for you. More experienced shooters might select intelligent Auto or Auto ISO modes to control their image sensors light sensitivity ( low ISO such as 100-400 work well in bright conditions; high ISOs are best in dim ones). Note There is the adage the higher the ISO, the more noise your image will contain. That said the cameras are coming out now have excellent capabilities in low light conditions. And my thoughts have always been a little noise and get the image, or just skip it or not try; I will always go after the picture! Other modes include Aperture Priority when you require a particular aperture for the light conditions. But if your freezing action? Choose Shutter Priority. (Use this all the time to shoot aircraft with props!). And last, but not least Full Manual mode allows you complete control over exposure. Next time Scene mode, White Balance, and Auto bracketing. Till then Happy Clicking! Lance

Hi All, those that know or follow me are aware I spend a good deal of time taken photo's at The Milwaukee County Zoo. One of the Zoo's Ambassadors for the Zoo and the Jaguar plight in South America is the rescue Jaguar from Belize. "Pat The Cat" Pat came to us from the wild forests of Belize. This during a time when ranchers were due to expansion of there farms cutting down and encroaching on his natural habitat. Due to this Pat started preying on the ranchers' cattle. Pat was fortunately captured not shot. Due to the dedicated actions by Milwaukee philanthropist and retired attorney Nancy Kennedy working with zookeepers in Belize and Milwaukee to Pat to the Milwaukee County Zoo in 2008. Since that time, Pat with his mate Stella have sired two sets of cubs, his addition has greatly added to the genetic diversity in the captive jaguar population. In the Past, Pat has had a book written about his journey to arrive at the Zoo. Which you can buy at the Zoo or online. Now, Pat is helping tell the plight of the Jaguar again with a Shirt/hoodie fundraiser Titled Paws for a Purpose...and buy a shirt!! This campaign is to raise funding for the Belize Zoo and Neotropical Conservancy (BZNC). BZNC supports the Problem Jaguar Rehabilitation Program at the Belize Zoo, The Belize Tapir Project and The Belize Corridor Project. You can check this out for yourself at the: At Paws for a Purpose I already purchased m,y shirt and made an extra donation, check it help and maybe help these big cats! Till next time, Happy Clicking! Lance |
