I have it set to faithful and this was more of an asylum way back in the 1800's and it's very haunted.

Good subject, but why 1600 iso on sunlit scenes :?

the lower the iso the finer the grain in the photo :idea:

WOW how did you guess I was using iso 1600? and what do you suggest the normal 400?

I downloaded a few of your photo's and read the exif on them.

always use the lowest iso possible for bright daylight scenes,I think

100 iso is the lowest for the rebel, if there is a lot of shade also in the

scenethen maybe 200 iso,what is then needed is a steady

hand or some way to steady the cam before shooting.......musket

Ok thank you musket. and I thought I did hold the camera pretty? I held it against my chest like I'm suppose to.

Ha ha!! Welli thought I might look in youtube to see if

I could find a video that might be of help. I came across

this one, it wasn't much help, but it was a good video :-)

I am trying to picture how you could look through the

viewfinder and hold the camera against your chest

and the mind boggles :?....:-)....if yousupport the camera

barrel with your left hand and grip the camera with your

right hand pressing your elbows tight against your side

looking in the viewfinder to frame the scene then breath

out slowly and at the end of your breath slowly press the

the shutter release button.....that usually works for me

PS i think 400 iso might be ok if there is a lot of movement

in the scene................musket

True true and I mean I hold my arms close to my chest and then eyep peice up to my eye and I go from there. Also I played with the camera a bit more and the iso speed of 100 is really awsome.

Hello Derek and welcome to the forum. I noticed on your exif info that your flash is firing on these as well, turn the flash off and use ISO 100 and your camera will take some amazing photos. I would love to see more photos of this old place.
