I've seen people talking about shutter speed, ISO, and f-stop. What are those? It really confuses me. What is the advantage in adjusting these manually, when you can just have your camera decide ...
This is called a Deepam. I decided to take a photo of it (cuz I was bored), so here we go. Shutter speed: 1/200 ISO: 4000 apparently F-Stop: 5.6 Camera: Nikon D5000
One thing you can do is blur the background further. This is achieved by having a lower f-stop (you can think of it as aperture). If you are using a cellphone, this is the same thing as portrait mo...
Somewhere around the port of Barcelona, April 2010. The building on the left is the Hotel W; the clock tower is obviously much shorter.

It's going to be difficult to capture the shot because the setup's the people use to take these kind of pictures are done in such a way as to trigger the camera at the exact right time and the gun ...
Do the math. Let's say the bullet in question is travelling at about the speed of sound, around 330 m/s. That means it moves 1 meter in 3 ms, or about a foot in 1 ms. Now look at the speed of "p...
I'm looking to attempt some artistic shots of a competition rifle shooter doing what they do best. My first thought was to attempt to capture something like a perfect golf shot, where you capture t...
If I understand the question right, you are probably talking about Light-field camera. One of these, Lytro was selling in 2014, which provided some fancy results as the "photo" could be re-focused ...
2020/08/07, shot from near Ottawa, ON. Canon Rebel T6 with 55-250 lens @ 180mm, ISO 100, f/18, 1/6 second Not the first "just the moon" photo posted here by any means, but certainly the first dece...
Obligatory shot of just the moon Yup, it's the moon. I included this to document the exposure. Getting the moon right is tricky, since it's a small but bright object in the middle of a dark back...
Moon over saguaro 16 Aug 2011, in the White Tank Mountains just west of Phoenix Arizona, 300 mm lens, 6:47 local time. The moon was nearly full, and low in the west around dawn. I wanted the moon...
The problems The basic problem is that the flames are small bright things in what is otherwise a dark scene. The automatic exposure system then messes up because it strives to make the average com...
There are likely at least two issues at play here. First, look at the other elements in the photo. The candelabra, the window behind it, the edge of the windowsill. All of those are fairly sharp, w...
When I take pictures of (lit) candles in otherwise-darkened rooms, the flames always come out nondescript (blurry?) as in the following example: I took this picture with a hand-held cell phone. T...
Lunar eclipse 2018-07-27*; shot from Valencia, Spain. Nikon D5300, 70-300mm AF-S @300mm, f/5.6, 1/400 s. If I recall correctly, this was shot hand-held, or possibly with a monopod, because my heav...

While there is a point in linking from SE to here, the reverse makes no sense. We want people finding this place from elsewhere. We don't want to help people go elsewhere if they happened to stum...
Here is another totally different derivative of the original: The waterfall and the swirling leaves are really two separate features that happen to be in the same original photograph. Trying to s...
I'm attempting to upload an image for the contest question and have clicked the image box on both iOS Safari, MacOS Safari and Chrome, and am not receiving any sort of dialogue box to upload. I can...
I am looking for a better rotating time for doing time-lapses like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BQpSa5Fgxs Would like, Steady movement. Fairly light so I can take it hiking. Un...
Storm over Mesa Verde This was taken 16 Aug 2018 from the side of the highway a little west of Mancos Colorado. The storm clouds looked so dramatic that I stopped to take a picture.
