[QUOTE="albrst, post: 610555, member: 43409"] Okay, let me see if I answer some of your questions. The pictures I am not happy with are usually ones that the color is not right (too light or too dark, except in the theater where they are using funky lights and I don't think that is fixable) and sharpness. Sharpness is probably my biggest complaint. I will be honest, I shoot a lot in full auto BUT, funny you all said this, have been taking a photography class, and so I have been trying full manual mode. I did get some decent pictures are the last theater performance changing the settings. The pictures I would really like to see better are ones of just my kids being still (prom, senior pics, easter, birthday, etc...) when I can't do much about lighting, etc... and the ones in the theater. The issue with the theater is the lighting. I can't use a flash or use any additional light. So I had to set my ISO to a pretty big number and then I get grainy pics. As far as reciprocity, I am learning about it and starting to grasp it and can get some better pics. I am hoping this class will make a difference in my pictures but it's only a few weeks long and is the only class in our area. Any suggestions of affordable, legit online classes? The teacher in this class is helpful but has a Canon so isn't helping with picking Nikon lenses. Suggestions on hoods? Did I answer your questions? LOL. Kristy [/QUOTE]
