Hi There. I'm a 31yr old mother of two and i have started in a new course for photography. I own a cannon rebel xl 100od and i'm only getting uesd to some of settings. I love the class and as homework we were asked to take night shots of bulidings with out flash. I.ve set the camera on "p", and when i go to take a shot it just won.t fire. I waited for the beep to tell me it was in focous and i had it on a trypod and nothing
. Then i put on the flash just to see and the flash just kept flashig very fast bot no shot taken. Then at one stage it took a shot but it took ages to fire. like the shutter opened but ages to close that i thought the camera was broken.
The image came out all blurred. I'm going back to class 2 morrow night and i hope that i'm not the onlyone with this proplam. ...I'm going mad that i have no pictures.
