Fujifilm S700 Doitle
Hey I got a Fujifilm S700 for Christmas. I've been having some fun messing with the manual settings on it and trying to learn a bit online about photography. Anyone have any suggestions for fun subjects to try taking pictures of? I've already made a few attempts at fast shutter speed water and they looked really cool. I'm waiting until tonight to try some outdoor night shots with a long shutter since I found a old tripod. I took this picture of the camera itself in the mirror with no flash and a long shutter.

Attractive children. Just don't keep them on your HDD or let the cops take you alive. You'll never survive in prison.

Flower macros.

Everyone loves flower macros. It's why they made the icon on the button a flower.

Whenever I don't use the flash my photos come out yellow, any tips or explanation on that?

Digital cameras suck at setting white balance automatically indoors. Try setting the white balance manually if possible, or to "Tungsten" if you only have the option of choosing your WB preset.
>> Doitle
>>104676
Ah yeah, I didn't think of a White Balance setting lol. I set it to Flourescent 3 and it looks better at least to my eye. It also has an Incandescent setting. Is that the equivalent to a Tungsten setting?
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA

Yep.

Whoah that is insane! So vibrant and colorful. The way that the lights in the background are like that, is that due to focus or aperture setting? I don't really understand the closed/open aperture distinction or its effect on the final picture.
>> Vincent
>>104706
The big lights are big because they are soo far removed from the focus point, so they are waay out of the depth of field.

So a wide aperture (f2.5 in this case) and a really close focus combine to make the lights look much bigger than they actually are.

IF you close down the aperture or focus farther away (Larger DOF) the lights get smaller.

Heres one thats slightly different, Focus is farther away. Still a very short DOF though.

What exactly did you do to it?

I'm trying to take pictures of foreground objects now hoping to get my tree to look like yours does lol.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>104721
Fixed white balance, applied some extra noise reduction, applied some extra sharpening, fiddled with the levels. Not necessarily in that order.
>> Vincent
>>104721
Your Camera won't be as good at creating short Depth of fields as a camera like mine...
BUT for best results ,focus as close as possible (use the macro mode on your camera) and make sure you light up the foreground object with something (preferably not the built in flash, but if you have to...)
>> Anonymous
Try out the macro mode.
>> Doitle
     File :-(, x)
I walked around the house taking some more shots and ended up with some neat results. I tried the macro feature quite a bit and realized just how dirty everything is. How do you take a beautiful close up without the tiny dust particles and hairs and scratches in paint ruining it? Also my camera has two macro mode, a macro and a super macro. One of which appears to limit you to only digital zoom. Does anyone know about the difference in their functionality? Also I'm absolutely shocked at how good the photos look using the digital zoom. My past cameras, if you went into the digital zoom, good bye photo.

This one was done with the macro however it came out very poor looking. I'm not sure what I did differently but I don't think this one looks too good... :/

Ok save yourself and a lot of impatient people the trouble of telling you, but NEVER EVER EVER USE DIGITAL ZOOM.
You can achieve better results on the comp blowing it up, and then you don't have to worry about the cropping it does.
Digital zoom does nothing but enlarge the picture, it makes things look blurry and crappy.

Also light your subject, you didn't and they look boring. (USe a flashlight even, seriously anything helps)
plus don't forget to get that out of focus look you need the background to be OUT OF FOCUS, that means farther away from what your focusing on than 2 inches. Try 6 or 7 feet.
