: Ok, kind of a dumb question.. BUT... ;o)
: I am trying to get a couple of good pictures of a family of beavers that live in the pond next to my home. They tend to come out early in the morning, and just around sunset. Because of the ponds sharply dropping banks, and the dark coloring of their fur, I am having trouble getting a good detailed picture. I made the mistake of trying to use both my A2 and 10s systems one day when they were on the shore, and I can honestly tell you that beavers can move darn fast when surprized by the autofocus assist.. ;o) So now I am shooting with my K1000 or SP1000. I have gotten a number of dark images, but I can't seem to put exposure/shutter speed together and get a decent shot. Anyone have a suggetion?
: Thanks!
Hi Chuck,
Bottom line..... photography is all about light. as you know there are no "lazers" or "chemicals" hidden inside the camera to produce the latent image on the film. Only light triggers the chemical change that produces that image. If you ain't got the light you ain't got the picture! No amount of fiddling around with camera settings, film types ect. will make it happen. You might try one of the Agfa high definition films but I think your batting 0 !
Sorry about that.
Regards Mikeb.
