Topic: Glasgow

I'll probably be done under the trade descriptions act for putting these under a section entitled cool pictures, but here are some shots from Glasgow, including one taken beside the tour bus:

ISO - change to fixed at 800 or 1600 (just check that 1600 is not too grainy).
save image at medium level or above (the lower the level the more grain you will get).
Set exposure comtrol to 'center spot'
Do not usa the ND filter as this will close the aperture. If you can manaully set aperture go for 2.8 (I think it is auto only).
White balance set to 'auto'.
Flash off.
Set auto focus to 'spot'
Try messing with exposure compensation - you can open up the exposure by 1 or 2 stops. Depends how close you are to the stage and how well light it is.
You will be surprised what a difference it will by experimenting with these settings. I noticed a lot of your images at taken at iso 200 which is way to low 800 -1600 should pretty much illiminate the camera shake you have (I struggle in some venues using 3200!!).
Although this also depends on how many beers you have smile

Afterwards simply turn dial to auto to overide all of the above. Try some low light shots at home of the same scene with different settings.

Re: Glasgow

Thanks Martin

To tell you the truth the camera is damaged and I cannot change the settings so it is shortly to be replaced - Mrs Greenose dropped it on a holiday in France mad

There will be another one by the next time  I see Joe in December.

PS Icon, I was perfectly sober when I took them! hmm (unlike Dingwalls...)
