Playing with my new camera

I managed to learn to poke around with my new digital slr. Now lets see if I can post.

Nice corals. The pics all look 1 stop or more underexposed though.
The exposure compensation dial is your friend!

I was using aperature priority mode to see how much coral I could get in focus. Unfortunately the shutter speed is dictated by the camera. I need to play with manual settings or maybe fix up the picutures. I'm just playing. I need to learn how to post them first. I don't care for this link to image shack and their adds. I just want them to show up like the majority of posters have theirs do.

In any mode short of full-auto, you can use exposure compensation. It is usually a little button with "+/-" on it. You press it and then dial in the amount you want to under or overexpose. I usually shoot in aperture priority too.

Just copy the URL and put image code before and after it

and they show up like this. You need to resize your photos - there are some tutorials in the photography subforum on how to do this. Use photobucket.com and not imageshack, IMHO.

Photobucket gives you forum image code with the stuff ready to just cut and paste. Like this: :smokin:

Thank you sir I think I have it a little bit down now. I will have to work on some better pics with better exposure.
