NightshotwithBob.jpg was taken using the
"Slow" flash setting. Pretty neat effect. This
setting delays the flash so that the background can be
exposed first. Then the flash triggers to fill in the
foreground. Sorry about the bathrobe! I was amazed to see
that the city lights came out so well.
DSC00034.jpg was taken using the VGA
"motor drive" mode. This is a continuous mode
that takes 2 frames per second as long as the shutter is
held down. This is a 640x480 res. as indicated in the
thumbnail. This mode offers an easy way to get the exact
shot you want, since you can then choose between, say,
ten or twenty. Then delete the ones where people's eyes
are closed, etc. You could also use a program like
ThumbsPlus to present a "slide show" cycling
bewteen the frames at a rapid rate (set the time between
frames during playback) to simulate a somewhat jerky
movie effect.
DSC00011.jpg was taken quickly as a man
walked down the street. The car and man were moving. The
action was stopped fairly well in this photo. Overall,
the Nikon is not terrific at freezing motion, as it
doesn't have aperature priority modes. But this one came
out OK. If the lighting is bright enough, stop-action
photos turn out better, obviously. In lower light, the
exposure will be longer, resulting in blurring.
Danatwork.jpg was actually taken using
the Wide-angle adaptor. But since it is a people picture,
I put it on this page.
