well bam...with iso the smaller the number the more light you need to produce your picture. also..the smaller your number the less noise you will have in your shot. if you want to shoot at night without giving up too much on shutter speed you can increase your iso number and it will take less light to develop your picture but you will get more noise. Kyle could probably do a much better job in explaining this. |

there are things you can do to help. use a tripod instead of resting on the truck. set the shutter release to a 2 or 10 second delay so once you press the button to take your picture you can let go of the cam completely and let it take the picture free of movement. there is also a long exposure noise reduction tool in the camera that might help if you turn it on. its in the menu and you have to specifically tell it to be on. |

it all really depends on your setting but i wouldnt shoot over 800 iso or under 1/320 of a sec on your shutter speed if you want to keep your pictures from bluring or having noise. are you allowed to go during the day or are there no deer out during the day? |

Yea, we are allowed to go durning the day......Guess I could try a tripod for the ones that are used to me..but mostly run off quick.......eps when you grab a big cam and start snapping........ the babies usually aren't old enough to be scared yet though and listen to their moms to stay put sometimes so that might help if I seen one of them again.. No pat they come at sunset to feed......then you have to be out of there at dark......:D  Ill figure it out one day im sure......:D

ok, so no matter what you are going to have noise, just get a noise filter, or download Noiseware... its free!! I like free hehehe... and you can get lil tiny tripod that you can bend around and make it more stable on your car door... they arent that much... mine came with my camera... Pat, did you get one with yours???? another thing that will help with light, is make sure your F-stop (aperature) is the lowerest number it can go. Its the number in the top right of the display window on top of the camera... if you have it in M (manual) then you push the button with the exposure sign on it, right by the button you use to turn on the camera, push that down and turn the dial to get the lowest number. but then you have to really make sure and pay attention what you are focusing on, cuz the low f-stop gives you a large DOF, and so you have less in clear focus and more around it blured. PHEW! hahahaha does that all make any sense what so ever!? I know this stuff, but unlike Kyle, have a hell of a time tryin to explain it very well just in writing without actually showing you! hehe and do you know about the focus points on the camea yet??? |

in your viewfinder there are i think 5 on the d50 focus points. they look like little boxes placed in a pattern of a cross. you can move the focus from one little box to the next with the directional pad on the back of the camera. that way you can frame your shot to focus without actually putting your subject in the middle. another way of doing it is to get your picture lined up and press the shutter button down halfway to make it focus...then reframe your picture without letting up on the shutter button and take your shot. it allows you to take pictures that are not always centered. |
