Ok so no surprise this is coming from me.
Regarding my POTD at flickr, I did have my camera setting on my desk because I get major blur when I hand hold my camera (using the settings we all keep discussing). I understand what you mean now about it being F9 which means closed down.
I use a Nikon D60 with a 18-55mm lens. 1:3.5-5.6
By reading your feedback I think I might have figured something out...but I'm not sure.
I think because of my lens of choice...I can't go lower than 5.6? If that's the case it means I'm somewhat restricted to what I shoot. That I might have to shot with added light? Because I still get a lot of blur when I shoot at 5.6.
Hmmm.
I hope this makes sense
Also, with my camera (maybe all cameras??) when I use A mode I can't control my shutter speed. So again I am feeling somewhat restricted.
