[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 59203, member: 8344"] You are very welcomed, I don't mind helping. Although a nice picture, I would prefer to see images with objects and contrasts. Hence the parking lot suggestion. Purpose for the early or late sun is to get shadows and contrasts with a variety of different objects and colours in view. The goal here is to get enough bright light but not the harsh light of the noon sun. You want to be able to set the f stop to at least 8 but not really higher than 11 as diffraction may come into play. And, you want a very high shutter speed to eliminate any hand held camera shake. If you have a VR lens, use it. If you have a tripod, even better. Don't use DX mode, shoot in FX. Make sure your WB is set for Sunlight and we can take it from there. If you do find a parking lot, make sure the cars are lined up away from you with the first car the closest and the last car the furthest away as opposed to looking at them in a linear frontal view line from left to right. Failing a parking lot, find a brick building or store on a street corner, or house with vegetation etc. What I would like to see is an image with depth, colour and contrast and I would like to see the image sharp and at an f stop of at least 8-11. And you will see.... that you will find love :cool: very quickly. [/QUOTE]
