Ok Camera people- again Here is what i need a picture of Layla in front of the tree with the lights on. Now- when i use a flash- all i see are the cords for the lights and no actual "light" so clearly- can't use a flash- but even then i still can't get the nice "lights" looks- what do i need to do? I have a Canon Rebel T1i. - also NO idea how to turn off the flash in manual- or any of those "modes" |
I haven't had my camera threw Christmas yet But I'm sure using a add on flash with it bounced would be the best way. We don't have our tree up yet so i can't really help you there. Here are some videos i hope they help If not let me know i will look some more. |

I'm not familiar with your cam, but I would use a tripod and a slower shutter speed, around 1/40 to 1/60 second, along with a higher ISO setting, and an aperture wider open. These would be all manual settings, or you could go into a shutter priority mode and play around with shutter speeds and let the camera determine what lens opening to use. I believe on most DSLR's, when you are in manual mode, the flash will not pop up automatically Hope this makes some sense. Less light you need slower shutter speed, anything under about 1/60th, and you need a tripod unless you are really steady. Also, the less light you have, the higher your ISO setting should be and opening up (lower number) the aperture helps as well. |

You can turn the flash off in modes other than manual, but you need to look in your user's manual to see how (I only know how on a Nikon). I would us A mode for this (aperture priority) so that you can control your aperture (f-stop) and open it wide, therefore blurring the xmas lights (is that what you want, btw? or do you want everything sharp?). Or, use manual mode like MK said. Like MaryKay said, in this low light that you're probably working - the shutter speed is going to want/need to be veryyyyyyy slow w/out a flash - so you're either going to have to use a tripod -or- a table or something to stabilize the "shake" OR try increasing your ISO speed which just might do the trick and you might be able to still handhold. Using high ISOs in low light can be incredibly helpful and satisfying! :D |
