I turn my pictures after I've downloaded them to my computer. I turn them right on my computer. Highlight/click on the photo, go to "file" then in the dropdown, you should see a rotate clockwise/counter clockwise. (I have an HP, not a MAC...not sure what you have)
@debsphotos I can do that also, but I have found it's about as easy to rotate in Picnik after I load... plus I am still not used to having to do that, so I just notice it after I upload. :) I never had to do it with my other camera.
@marilyn - got it. I don't like the auto-rotate on my camera. Makes the pic too small for me to see. So I do it after downloading. Love to hear how others do things. Makes things interesting.
Cute cute shot Marilyn!! Congrats on shooting in manual mode!! Your photo looks a little under expose, meaning it's too dark. Ways to combat this (let in more light) would be to 1. shoot at your lowest aperture your lens allows. 2. Lower your shutter speed, rule of thumb with shutter speed and hand holding- don't go much lower than the focal length (but I did notice your focal length was 135 so maybe not that). 3 Increase your ISO, it can add grain to the photo but 400 is a pretty low ISO so you have some room there. Also your camera should have an exposure meter on the back and when you push your shutter half way it will tell you whether you are under, over or perfectly exposed- good tool to use when you are starting in manual mode! I know it was helpful to me! xo
C@heidievans73 Thanks for the info... I will have to sit with the camera in front of me while I step-by-step through that! :) The weird thing is that I took several shots from the same place without changing any settings and some were dark and some a bit lighter... I obviously have lots to learn! :)
@marilyn When I figure out how I am going to froward a link that Robert sent that you might like. It will take me a fresh morning and a little time to get it to you though.
There is snow place like home! Marilyn, I have only taken one little class but the one thing the teacher told us (that I could understand) was to add light turn the aperture and or the focal length to the left. Left for light! That may be too basic for you but it helped me.
