| I have used both but which film is better?Kodak Professional:125 PX film (Plus-X)400 TX film (Tri-X)What settings do I use for the following:. which [film]. [aperture]. [shutter speed]. [night] vs. [cloudy/dim/low-light day] vs. [sunny day] vs. [indoors w/ artificial light]To take photographs of:- To capture fast-motion objects so object at hand is clear and crisp but background blurred while I'm standing still. How about slow-ish moving objects?- Panning- To write words in the air with a lighter- Taking photographs of carnival lights- Still-life/non-moving objects- Depth of field (shallow, deep)How do I use filters? The higher the number, the more contrast I will get? I haven't really seen them but they look like square papers with different colors (shades of red). Also, what is bracketing, spot-metering, the poor man's zone, and exposure (long, short.. strobe or flash in dark)? How do I control those? For multiple exposures you can have a person running and on the photograph you can see step-by-step the motion of the runner, right?I am a beginner photographer doing b & w shots. As you can see, I am very confused. Thanks in advance for your help!I don't understand how the settings work. If I open up the aperture and have a fast shutter speed both isn't that the best way to capture motion and allowing lots of light in at the same time? So should I always have those settings for taking any photograph? |

| You need to go to amazon.com or ebay and buy a copy of "Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition" by George M. Craven. All your questions will be answered.Next, enroll in photography classes. If there are none available locally then check out The New York Institute of Photography (nyip.com). They offer correspondence courses and have been in business since 1910 so they are reputable.To answer your question in here would require writing a book.Good luck to you and welcome to the fascinating, frustrating world of photography. |

| I think you win the prize for asking the most questions in a single post. Unfortunately most of your individual questions require huge long answers that not many people are going to bother trying to reply. You'll have a better chance of getting your questions answered if you ask fewer, simpler questions.I'd suggest picking up a few books on basic photography.Just show I'm not being a jerk, I'm going to try and answer your first question.Which film is better 125 or 400 - Well, it depends on what you are shooting. The higher ISO film, 400, will be better for low light situations, indoors for example. The 125 is better for brighter, outdoor stuff. |

| I have the k2 camera also. And what i've been doing is studying my manual every chance i get. I have also picked up the magic lantern guide for the t2-k2 cameras. I think all my questions i am beginning to figure out myself. It might helps you lots to look at the instruction book one more time. If i am not reading my books or taking pics,i am here learning all i can from these professionals. |
