Went for a walk around Clarence Dock with Nicola. I wanted to try and gain confidence with the DSLR in outdoor settings. Although I had help from Nicola, I still found it quite hard remembering how to add or take certain effects/features away. When I first started out the majority of my pictures came out with a red effect. My first initial thought was that the White Balance was not right. I remember reading about colour temperature and that you can pick up blue and red tints when the temperature is warm/cold. After playing around with White Balance I still found the photos either too dark or too bright. I then went on to changing the aperture.
I have come to realize how unaware of technical aspects of DSLR settings i am and in order to learn completely i have to understand how each setting works as well as how it work


1/200 IS0 800 f 3.5

1/640 IS0 400 f 3.5


1/1250 IS0400 f3.5
I feel that the image above worked best. The ISO on 800 was too high for this setting causing the photo to appear bright. Shutter speed also should be taken into consideration. I feel that a slower shutter speed worked best with the lighting conditions and added more detail to the images.
