I actually won first place in a local club competition with this, with a theme of "hands"

Damn CD, I hope they pay you extra for shining up the bumpers before the shoot. They should really have a "guy" for that.

They used to have a girl for that but in a communications glitch, all of the chrome was somehow sucked off

Seriously though, since I bumped a thread more than 30 days old I should probably ask something useful.
Where do I find out how to work my camera? For instance, this shot here. I don't even know how to move the little red dots to the part of the picture I want to focus. I would've liked to focus the very front of the slice, I don't love that it's a little out of focus. Is that stuff in the manual? Maybe I should read it.

RTFM
Now, once you are done with that, you should have a basic understanding of how the controls work. Then read a book or hop on a forum and start to learn about aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I have learned those buzz words so far However, it would appear that you took the picture with a very narrow depth of field which caused it to be in focus in the middle of the slice but out of focus in front and behind. If I were to play a detective, I would guess you had your kit lens zoomed at 55mm at F5.6 then you depth of field is only .091 ft if the slice was 2 feet from the camera. This is extremely thin. Useful at times but that is my guess as to your issue. It would be a little better once you figure out how to control the focus points.

I've been playing around with a new light source... my iPad!
I downloaded an app called Softbox Pro, and it allows for different colors and shapes, brightness, etc. I took these shots with a 40" silver bounce directly above it. Just because I could, I did HDR processing with 7 shots each, which helped even out the exposure. Black foamcore in the back. Shots were done at f/8 at 80mm. for the lone cocktail, 30mm f/2.8 for the cocktail and ingredients, and 30mm f/8 for the bottles. Exposure ranged from 1/30" to 3" I got a gadget called a CamRanger which allows me to use my ipad or iphone to control the camera from up to 150' away. The ipad was on full brightness, with the objects sitting directly on it.

These are hollowed out orange peels filled with jello. The jello was still liquid at the time, and reflects the light quite nicely:

On my cameras, including both my pro Nikon, and my pocket-canon, I can choose my focus point in two ways. I can move the focus bracket thingy, or I can point the focus bracket thingy at my chosen focus point, and press the shutter button half way. Then, I can move the camera to frame my picture, and push the shutter button the rest of the way. The camera will hold the focus I selected as long as I keep the shutter button pressed half way. I generally use the second method. If I have the camera on a tripod, then I will use the first method. Read your camera's manual, and do a bunch of practice shots until you get the hang of it. CD |
