first shoot with K30
Lens: DAL 18-55 Camera: K30 Photo Location: Singapore 
Posted By: Merrick, 12-03-2013, 01:30 AM

Hello, everyone. I am a new pentaxian.
These pics are shot in Singapore botanic gardens last weekend.
I think all the pics are not so sharp, any suggestions for me to improve my skills? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. Keep practicing is the best advice I can give. The more you shoot, the more you will learn and the better you will become. I am still learning but there are lots of people her on the forums to look to for help. My only suggestion would be to use a tripod especially for the florals. The leaf on the right of the flower in the last shot is beautiful with lots of texture.

Welcome - Susan has some good advice a tripod is your friend and practice. Try different metering modes , ampeture , shutter speeds, ISO. When shooting flowers wind is not you friend so you need a speed to freeze the actions (probably 1/250s at least depending on the breeze). With a tripod use mirror lock up (2 sec timer or 12 sec) cable or wireless remote. Make sure your focal point is where you want it. it's fun to experiment so enjoy !
