Just a couple of slow shutter speed creek shots.

Another one of same scene. I was experimenting with different shutter speeds. I had an Neutral Density filter on this one to slow the shutter speed down a little more. This one was four seconds.

Nice pictures. I was fortunate enough to get to travel to Oregon a few years back and fish salmon and steelhead. It's a beautiful state I really enjoyed my time there. Thanks for sharing.

Really super pictures. I haven't been able to figure out how to slow my shutter speed, in fact I haven't able to figure out a lot of things on my Nikon. I bought a book, "The 5100
for Dummies." Well, I'm to dumb to understand the book, but the auto feature on the camera works really great.

Sounds like me, BosnMate. I've got an old Samsung Digimax 5800. Bought it on the internet about 7 years ago. I really like it. It's not much for the movie part, but the pictures are quite good; considering that I only use the 'Auto'.
Ron, great pictures. I need to start trying some of the different setting on my camera, but just never take the time to read the manual.

Thanks BosnMate,

I remember when UPS delivered my first DSLR camera. I didn't know anything about it, and after a couple of days was so disgusted, I didn't know whether to send it back or throw it out in the snow.


I use strictly manual mode now. I usually only try these on cloudy days or early morning when the light is low and even. My standard settings for these kind of pictures is to set the aperture at f16 and iso 100. These settings will require a slow shutter speed, so looking through the viewfinder I look at the graph inside for proper exposure setting, and dial in the required shutter speed for correct exposure. ( Also have the camera on a tripod, and use the camera's timer for shutter release. )

Hope this makes sense.

Those are very nice, Ron. I fear complicated things. I keep thinking I should venture further in to nicer equipment, but I'm kind of chicken. So far I've just been a window shopper looking at all those cool set ups out there.

Thanks Grant, I know what you mean about complicated things. I still have a dumb phone that needs to be replaced, but keep putting it off just because i dread having to figure out a knew one. Just takes a little time to learn each knew gadget.

There is a lot I still don't know about my latest camera.
