Tranquillity exposure & compersition

[Girlfriend]

Hi all, having read here on the Exposure Triangle , i venture out with my Sony to the William Rickettts Sanctuary ,where there's a display of sculptures of Aboriginal figures set out in a beautiful forrest. As with all forrest surroundings they are pretty much low in light however with the lightrays that beams down i try to take this to my advantage. I have taken over 300 shots and 45% came out, those that did'nt turn out was all to blury & dark . Need guidance I would greatly apprictate your critique on my shot, still tryin to twist my fingers on the right settings in using the A.S and been using the M for a while but still all new to me.



Camera: Sony DSLR-A100
Exposure: 0.4
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 100 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV

That blurred firn is REAL distracting. It would have been nice if you could have held it down so it was out of the shot.

If you had a tripod you could have increased the aperture to give you more depth of field to get it into focus.
