Still playing with the 5D

[Madpup]

this is my first go with it not on auto
i was going to shot the moon but i had
the wrong lens with me.

west cliff beach at 2am

Tv 30 sec
F6.7
iso 160
lens 28-70
focal length 30.00mm
WB cloudy
picture stlye neutral
color space sRGB

no dout this means something to you,
but most of it goes over my head, but im willing to learn

ps untouched in CS2

Beautiful shot
Pity about the shadows in the foreground though
Was this at the 28 end?

 

[antonroland]

Duh!!!:bang: :bonk:
You said 5d which means this image had to be shot on the 28mm end right??

Forgive me if I tell you what you already know but here goes

Tv 30 sec means your shooting mode was on shutter priority (The camera opens the shutter for as long as it deems necessary to achieve a good exposure along with other settings such as ISO , aperture and what the light meter reads.

F/6,7 An aperture setting 1/3(?) stop down from f/5,6 towards f/8
These 2 points are the direct opposit from AV.

In av you will set the aperture to your specific need e.g. f/2,8 for minimal dof or f/22 for maximum dof and the camera will then adjust the shutter speed automatically

ISO 160 means that you have selected 2/3 of a stop faster(more sensitive) than 100ISO.
(Or 1/3 stop slower from 200ISO if you like)

Lens 28-70 and focal length 30.00 mm should not be a problem I'm sure

WB cloudy is a setting which gives a slightly warmer (more yellow) than daylight /sunny because cloud cover tends to give a slightly blue/cooler effect than open sunshine.
You can also consult the degrees Kelvin , I simply don't know them off by heart.

Picture style neutral (I think) is j-peg recording standard i.e. sharpening , saturation , contrast and 1 or 2 other settings are "neutral"

sRGB is simply the range of available colours with which the camera will reproduce your image in j-peg.
You will have seen the term gamut, I'm sure, which basically means range.
AdobeRGB is then simply a wider range of available colours.

Hope this helps

It was shot at the 70 end,
and thanks Anton, that does help.

Now hang on ...am I losing it
You said focal length 30.00mm so had to be right on the wide end???

Glad I could help
Oh BTW you could also have a look at your horizon in that shot

Cheers
