Message: <blockquote data-quote="SanAngelo" data-source="post: 3296800" data-attributes="member: 134087">Took these photos facing west 30 minutes before sunset. I wasn't out there long, I squeezed in the time to give a run at Niels' suggestions.I snap a quick 50-60 photos, out of that 3 came out blurry. That's not saying the other photos were good, I'm along way from getting the most out of the camera. These shots were F4, 1/800, 6400. I didn't notice how bright they were through the display, I was mentally focused on cleaning up my earlier shadow photos. If I had more time tonight I would have dialed down the ISO and tried to throw up something to brag about.I'm amazed, stunned, shocked.....there's not a verb out there strong enough to convey my emotions. I had no clue, never guessed I would be able to take on photography. For years I've been putting things behind me due to the tremors. Having the ability to accomplish something as substantial as this is quite a achievement.Thanks Niels for suggesting the Pani and the encouragement to take the leap.A wise man once said...practice, practice, practice.....and I intend to do so.I'll be living over here in the Camera and Photography Forum.....so everyone, please keep asking questions....you're my muse and for now this is my higher form of education./rBill</blockquote>
