Noise is a little high on the last pic

 

yeah i think i sharpened it a lil to much =/

 

or turn down the iso

 

iso was at 200 i think. wasnt more than 400 i know

 

I like the execution with the pics, specially #5. My recommendation would be, try to use photoshop or any program like that as little as possible. Thy will add noise to the picture if you use it too much.

I think your ISO was higher than 200.

This is at 200

99.99% of the time, my camera never leaves its lower ISO. I would find other ways around it to get the shot I want.

 

I second the post process as little as possible comment.

Since you have access to all the settings in the exif data for the image, you can take the same picture with different settings and compare them later. I have found this to be a pretty good learning tool. It will certainly help you figure out your particular camera, since every model works a little differently (different sensors and software in the camera).

If you can, maybe try shooting RAW + Jpg, but work towards getting the best jpg shot that you can. If you shoot both then you can mess around with the RAW image as much as you like.

 

thank u so much for all the comments and suggestions guys. i try not to use PS too much but im kinda a sucka for color selective pictures =/

mmm...moster lol

 

im not experanced in shooting in raw...what are the benefits of this?
