I read up on Depth of Field and F-Stop, makes much more sense now how to use that to my advantage when trying to photograph specific parts of the bike.

I saw the term "Aperture Priority" come up. I assume that means that the camera will adjust the Shutter Speed accordingly so that the Aperture setting takes priority is that correct? Whats the other settings aside from "Aperture Priority"


I'm in the habit of shooting lots and discarding most...I've got an 8 gig card in there so I can shoot like 1500 something pictures at full resolution. I haven't tried shooting RAW with this camera yet but I'm pretty sure the camera is capable of it so I'll play with that too. I've worked with RAW before but it was being shot with a Canon D-30...which was pretty f'in sweet as far as i was concerned. Even I could take pro lookin photos with that thing.


That Ray Dobbins guy has a pretty serious studio. Looks like he has a cyc wall to shoot those bikes on...a little out of reach for most of us...and his bikes are too nice
