Ah, how to take a picture?
It would be helpful if people knew how to change the basic settings with their camera, like fstop, shutterspeed and focus. But if you don't, that's ok, the general points I wish to cover are applicable to most cameras.
I'll cover some basics
- cellphone, point and shoot, dslr
- exposure and exposure manipulation (shutterspeed, aperture, ISO)
- focus and depth of field
- auto versus manual
and then some of the reef specific challenges
- lighting
- why are my pics so blue?
- raw mode
- fast moving fish
and tools that can help
- tripod
- remote shutter release
- software
We can also cover how to host pics on image hosting services like Photobucket, and how to post pics on RC if people would like.
