But I want quality. Who wants to make bad images?

All of photography is a trade-off. IN fact, if you want to learn how to negotiate, this might be a good way to start off. Want depth of field? You're going to have to trade off shutter speed or ISO. What if you have to keep the quality high, so the ISO low, AND need depth of field? Well, you're going to have to sacrifice shutter speed. So let's take the camera off auto ISO, leave it on Aperture Priority, and see what this fancy big piece of crazy expensive electronics gives us.




1.3 sec at f/5.6, ISO 100

So, good thing I have a tripod, isn't it? One and a third second exposure. Ya, try hand-holding that ad getting a sharp shot. I'll wait here while you do. I'll have some time. It's also a good thing that the bear doesn't move very far or fast, isn't it? If it was moving (you know, like small children do), you'd never, EVER get a clear shot.

I guess we'll have to try something else, won't we? Gonna have to speed up that shutter. Let's do that.
