<p>I tried auto today while capturing birds on my deck using the D800 and Tamron 150-600 and I must say I ended up with some great results. I had always shot with ISO of 200 but auto bumped it up to 1100 at time and I still got great results. I admit seeing the ISO creep up there concerned me but the D800 handled it beautifully.</p> <p>D800 F8 1/640 ISO 1600 Tamron 150-600@600</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>I would like to hear from people who have used auto ISO. I have always manually set it and normally shoot in Aperture priority or full manual when needed. I shoot with a D800 primarily and a backup D300. If you have shot using auto ISO and had good or bad results please let me know. Its one of those things I am curious about but just never tried.</p>

<p>Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 I have this lens and I am very happy with it. But if you don't require the 2.8 such as William said if your shooting outside at F8-F11 I would stick with the kit lens.</p>

<p>Will trying to photo the eclipse with no filter damage my D800 or D300. I was going to try Aperture priority F22 ISO 100. Thoughts?</p>

<p>I assume most of us out there that have done family photos have had instances where a child is so wild or just does not want to be in the photo. There is just no getting a good image with the child at all. My question is what do you do in this situation?</p>

<p>This reason is why I tell them in the meeting up front they will not be getting "ALL" the photos that they will get all photographer accepted images with minor corrections (color correction done in ACR) then they can choose from those a per-determined amount of images that I will do a full photoshop workup of. This is also why contracts even simple contracts are very important. There are simple contracts online that you can download where if nothing else it helps spell out in writing what the person will get and what your compensation will be. I always ask for half of the money as a save the date fee non-refundable (attorney advised not to call it a deposit) then the second half of the money is to be paid by 2 weeks prior to the wedding. I would still shoot it if they didn't pay on time but I would not deliver anything until payment was made.</p> <p>I guess I would give her all the files in JPG or give her most of the shots renamed to seem to be sequential. Then chalk this up to another learning experience.</p>
