Description
Yellowstone Nat Park, Summer 2006, Digital PhotographI already have a pastel of this one, so I hesitated to show the original. I forget if I drew it from life or from this photo. But, lately, I've felt like flooding DA with art, so here we are. With this and the next few photos I haven't yet touched them up in photoshop - not much time to, and I'd have to use a laptop with screwy lighting.

The funny thing is I haven't yet touched it in photoshop - the computer that had it left my house with it's owner (brother in law). You can even see some kid's ballcap on the lower left side. At some point I'll draw over that part.

this is a really nice, wonderfully composed capture of a beautiful landscape.
i do think that a border would neaten this photo up, as would a smidge more contrastt
but it is a really great shot

it's certainly snake like, but I'm not sure on the name.

It's a really nice photo. I don't know much about how to make pictures better with different camera settings but that guy/girl was talking about your camera settings [if you have an SLR (if you can adjust the settings).
I BELIEVE...
1/128 is your shutter speed [how long the exposure is, how long the shutter is open to let light in] Faster shutter speeds are used to capture action, slower shutter speeds are mainly used for landscapes, flowers, etc. Things that won't be moving fast or moving at all because if you try to use a slow shutter speed in an action shot things will blur. Some people use this blur as an artistic effect, which you can experiment with if you want.
F 32 is your F-stop [aka aperture], which is how wide the shutter is when the hole is opened...I don't think that's the greatest explanation but I think you get the idea. In relation to shutter speeds: a slower shutter speed will cause the shutter to be open longer, therefore it is letting in more light, so you want the "hole" to be smaller to compensate for that. A faster shutter speed doesn't allow as much light to enter the camera because it can't stay open long. Therefore you want an aperture that lets more light in for the short period of time that the shutter is open.
All films have an ISO, check the boxes. Most regular stores won't have any ISOs other than 400 or 800 so I would suggest a camera store to get those. I know even less about film but I believe the ISOs have to do with how grainy the film (and, of course, the pictures) will be.
Hopefully if he/she sees this they can correct me if I made a mistake at all.
Hope that helps!

Hi nice capture.
If you accept I will give you a free advice.
1/128 F32 iso 50 it would produce much much more details and you will capture the motion.

thanks for the advice, but I have absolutely no idea what you mean. What do all the numbers mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if you can set your camera to manual or something like this
then 1/128 is the shooter speed
the F32 is the focal length ( bigger it is sharper the image is )
iso speed is the sensitivity of the digital film ( sensor )
Hope it helps. If you have any questions about photography you can ask me and I will explain it.

Ah.... If only I had a camera that could do all that... I do have a nice camera, but it's not digital, and I don't use it anymore. It just costs too much.
Someday I may get a better digital camera. Mostly I use it for family photos and art references. There's a pastel of this image somewhere in my gallery.
Thanks for the help, btw. Do you have any photo tutorials?
