I'm starting to feel very uncomfortable with my commenting. I hope that nobody takes offense at my critiques because no offense is meant.
I don't comment very often, but for some reason I have felt compelled to comment on almost every picture posted to this side challenge so far. The reason that I don't comment very often is because I feel uneasy about pointing out what could be done better even though I think that those types of comments are the most useful.
It's just that I seem to be making a lot of negative sounding observations.
Pleae understand that I don't mean to be negative at all. I'm just trying to be helpful. If anybody would like me to not comment on their shots anymore then please PM me saying so. No problem.

I have a lot to learn I appreciate you comments. They are not nasty they are knowledgable I wish I could make knowledgeable recommendations to people but since when it comes to a lot of the technical aspects of my camera I'm clueless aim and shoot and hope something comes out from it but that is part of this learning learning learning and I personally apperciate insite can someone please explain aperature to me because I've read about I play with it but everything always turns too white too much light being let in ack

I almost looked up your camera manual a few minutes ago and I went off in a different direction. So I'll explain it as I know it with a Nikon.
I shoot 98.739% of the time in Aperture Priority mode. So does Bob Krist and Bruce Dale of National Geographic. It was so affirming to attend a seminar by them and hear them tell us this because I have always done so. What this does for me is allow me to control my depth of field (how much of the picture from front to back that is in focus).
The larger the aperture (the smaller the f-stop number) the less depth of field you will have. This is useful when you want to isloate a lone subject from otherwise distracting background (and don't forget foreground) elements.
The smaller the aperture (the larger the f-stop number) the greater your depth of field will be and there fore the more of the image from near to far will be in focus. This is useful when you do not have a single subject and want more or all of your subjects to be in focus. This is useful in general landscape scenes also in which you want a lot of the image to be in focus. In this instance you will usually determine a point 1/3 of the way into the image as your exact point to focus on.
The reason that the f-stop number changes in size opposite to the change in size of the aperture (or lens blade opening) is because the f-stop number is the ratio of lens blade opening to the focal length of the lens. With an f-stop of f/2.8 (a large aperture) the focal length is 2.8 times the diameter of the aperture.
To ensure that you control how much of the image is in focus you need to control the aperture by either shooting in full manual mode or in aperture priority mode. On Nikon cameras the aperture priority mode is marked by 'A'. You'll need to determine how to set your camera in this mode and then how to set the aperture.

thank you Yak I guess I understand that for the most part but why when I use my aperature prioity mode everything is always so white how do I keep the light out does that make sense. my camera is a rare bred and I got it by default but that is probably for a pm....ok maybe I should do that thankyou for helping me it is very appreciated

well I screwed that up Yak, I'll pm you tomorrow and the Nikon D80 was what i was going to get the day I ended up with my Olympus though I love it , it is harder to find parts and referances to than Nikons and Canons
I'm starting to feel very uncomfortable with my commenting. I hope that nobody takes offense at my critiques because no offense is meant.
I don't comment very often, but for some reason I have felt compelled to comment on almost every picture posted to this side challenge so far. The reason that I don't comment very often is because I feel uneasy about pointing out what could be done better even though I think that those types of comments are the most useful.
It's just that I seem to be making a lot of negative sounding observations.
Pleae understand that I don't mean to be negative at all. I'm just trying to be helpful. If anybody would like me to not comment on their shots anymore then please PM me saying so. No problem.
I need honest feedback so I appreciate your honesty.
