[QUOTE="nickt, post: 412824, member: 4923"] Every setting is ideal if you find the right conditions. Kind of like a broken clock is right twice a day. Sorry, I don't mean to give you a hard time on your first visit. There are no 'ideal' settings, especially if you don't give a situation. Even then, its hard to say.

We might want to freeze motion or we may want to show motion blur. We might want everything behind the subject blurry or we may want everything sharp.
