ahh i remember the days of wrestling with 2GB files

Yorkieben, did you deliberately select a far left focus point for that shot or was that the minimum focus distance for your lens?

Can I claim it was deliberate rather than the fact it’s a photo from when I first started with my dslr which I found recently. I had no idea about focus points then!

Nope, I did crop it though. I'm using an old lens though maybe that's why the readings are off?
All the other settings look right though.

Looking at all the other pics they're all f16 too, and yeah an 8 sec exposure because the lighting was pretty crap

[j.o.s.h.1408]

i thought that the higher the exposore time is, the lower the F number is in Tv Mode?

Not sure, I remember it as if the f number is greater then there's less light coming in therefore you'd need a longer exposure time?

Still new here

Also found this neat addon that lets you view EXIF's in Firefox.

Tv ... Time

So the shutter time been set to 8 seconds, means the camera will automatically adjust the appature.

Because with appatures its all 1 divided by x, in this case 16, it means he had the shutter time way slow.

Thing is it dosen't look like an 8 second to me, unless your a man of steel (or used a tripod without waking the cat!).

This is why i spoodged on a 50mm prime lense that can work at 1.4 appature, which is quite large compared to my 16-50mm which is 2.8f.

[j.o.s.h.1408]

ye athats right, the higher the F is, the less light you let in but the shutter speed is faster, the less light you take in but slower the more light you take in if that makes sense.

You on Tv mode?

edit: sorry The F is the apparture value that can only be set on Av mode not Tv mode so i got them mixed up. f16 is very very high though and i am begining to understand why some are surprised at the result.

It was with a tripod. I got this old SLIK 960G-QL tripod. It's probably old because it's my Dads

The lenses are from my Dad's old film SLR's too, although this Canon one is the only one that works with AF as well

@josh - It was on manual. I'm always on manual using the old lenses.
