Hi All,
I have been using my Pentax K10D for two months now, desperately trying to learn in time for my trip to India in 3 weeks. One thing I have realised is that a three month learning curve is not enough for the pictures I had hoped for and although that inspires me to keep learning, I would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction for a failsafe mode when I am out on my travels so that I don't come back with a stack of blurred photos
)
I have the 18-55 kit lens, the 50-200 zoom DA (kit equivalent), the tamrom 28-300 zoom macro, and have just purchased the 50mm 1.4 Pentax lens. I am planning to take the Tamron and the 50mm with me but just don't know what to do.
Obviously there will be lots of scene shots and probably many from a distance using the full zoom - I don't seem to be able to get this sharp - any ideas?
What would be the best mode to get me out of problems? Some tell me shutter priority, others AV but I don't really understand why and would the green mode work - because I can't see the value of the green mode yet.
When I started shooting I was nearly always using the P mode but after a photography course tried more and more to use manual but on holiday really don't want to take too many risks unless I have the time (which is unlikely as it is a fast-paced tour with some wonderful opportunities to click).
Last question - what sort of settings should I be starting with for low light?
It sounds like I want somebody to write me a book
) but just a quick bit of guidance so that I don't mess up would be SO appreciated.
Thanks all ..........
