[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 197563, member: 11881"] [b]Re: Help[/b] I would suggest putting the camera in auto, go back outside and shoot some pictures. See what the settings were the camera chose. Then duplicate those settings in manual mode. This might help to get you in the ball park. It took me about a month of shooting and learning my camera before I started seeing the pictures I expected. At first I thought it was the camera. Additionally, unlike the days of the film camera when we just took a picture, got it developed, and they handed us a stack of photos; digital photos - good digital photos - can use some editing. The miniature shot looks great! I love it because it has the effect but it's not over the top. These outside photos don't show me anything wrong other than practice and experience. You also need to know inside photography can be tough. You just don't realize how much light it really takes when shooting indoors and then having that light properly dispersed in the room. Of course there is also the color of the light in the room. AAAAHHHH! Anything shot in my kitchen is horrible because the lights have a gold colored base that actually acts like a reflector so the blue colored light actually looks incredible yellow. Here is a quick touch up on your daughter and a recomposing of the shot. [ATTACH type="full"]52283._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
