Fooling around with David's DSLR

[crysania4]

I took David's DSLR outside with Dahlia today to try to take some pictures. They still mostly come out blurry, but I got a few I liked.













It's time like these when I take the photos using it that I think maybe I'm better off with my Panasonic. LOL

You have no idea how jealous I am that you get to pet those ears.

Her ears are THE BEST. So soft!

Her eyes came out really well in these.

The camera definitely brings out her eyes! The light was horrible (fading light, cloudy). Maybe I should try out in better light. I really have no clue what I'm doing with it and I'm still back to thinking they might be too heavy for me. My hands shake while trying to hold it up.

She is so photogenic <3

[crysania4.livejournal.com]

She is! I think it's silly that people think black dogs aren't easy to photograph!

I'm still iffy on the quality of these photos...I need to try to take some more in better light.

I'm at Celtic Woman's Pittsburgh show right now, and it's like every other person has your glorious hair. :) Wavy heads for the win!

Lovely shots!!

these are wonderful. what is bothering you about them that you like better with the panasonic? with either camera you get really great shots!

[crysania4.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure exactly. Well, one of the things that bothers me is that the rest of the 55 shots I took came out blurry whereas most don't with the Panasonic (I think the camera may be too heavy for me, which is my worry about SLRs...I have wrist problems!).

[artstorm.livejournal.com]

the blurry is probably just shutter speed its probably set higher on the panasonic but i don't know what settings you use on each camera so this is only a guess.

[crysania4.livejournal.com]

I honestly think the blurriness is because I can't hold such a heavy camera steady. I have wrist problems and so my hands tend to shake sometimes. With a small, light point and shoot I don't have that problem. With David's heavy camera I find it tiring to hold it up.

i'm wishing even 1/100th of my pictures of puppy or molly would turn out so well! its not easy photographing a black dog.

Dahlia is WICKED photogenic and I don't know why! Of course, I've taken thousands of photos of her so maybe I've just gotten used to taking photos of black dogs.

White dogs? I have more trouble with them!
