[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 252861, member: 12198"] Try it again Lawrence. The trick is reading what they are looking for and choosing the settings that will give you that effect. Show propeller movement (slower shutter 1/60 or so) and stop propeller fast shutter (try above 1/800). Blurring is large aperture (smallest F# so 2.8), show whole photo in focus then smaller aperture (F11-13 etc) then adjust your ISO until your light meter tells you you have a good exposure ( 0 ). Don't worry about the clock at all just practice and then go and try it with your camera, once you switch to Manual its the best thing ever. I thought there was some magic settings I needed to memorize in order to get the photos I wanted. Then found out that nope its knowing what you are looking for burring, all in focus, stop motion or show motion and adjusting aperture, shutter and ISO while watching that light meter in order to get the shot you want. Seriously give it another shot and then go play with your camera. Manual opens a whole new fun world with your camera and it really isn't as complicated as it seems. I can say this because 1yr and 2wks ago I had absolutely no idea what ISO, aperture or shutter was! [/QUOTE]
