I found it scary at first but if you break it all down its fairly simple maybs this will help if anyone was wondering:
ISO - Lower rating = Darker image less noise or grain in the detail. Crisper img
Higher rating = Lighter image but more noise or grain in detail
Shut Spd - Slow rating = longer exposer and a lighter image.Vibration sensitive.
Fast rating = short exposure and a darker image. Good for moving objects or working without a tripod
Apperture - Low rating = small field of focus. Blurring of background. Good for picking out targets
High rating = large field of focus. Less blurring of close and far objects
With the HPS light it could be a thing with older models of cameras. I only get the striping on my live view but the actual photos are ok. Once my shut spd is at around 200 it stops the interference. I have a magnetic ballast so wonder if that is the problem...
bright sunshine is my favourite lighting for shooting plants.I am going to take them outside tomorrow to get some natural light instead of the hps, should be intresting
i had no idea you had so many talents up your sleeve!dont forget shutter lag.. (on most point and shoot cameras)
the delay in pressing the button and having the photo taken... as years progress they are getting better...
ISO -higher the # the darker it should be outside
on board camera flash (worthless at 7 foot above most of the time)
photoshop =the way to fix the photos you take.

I was a pro for a while till my health got in the way... not bragging just offering help
Ohhhhhhh I lie alot and make up the rest..i had no idea you had so many talents up your sleeve!
shutter lag KILLS me when i'm trying to take pics of my kid.... i find myself abusing the rapid fire mode.
Thanks for the link and info buddy, havent ever had an issue with shutter lag but I have only ever used the newer Canon 5Ds (well others too but hardly) so It might be as you say down to improving tech. When u say a higher ISO# means it will be darker outside - you mean that a higher ISO is suitable for shooting in low light right? I take alot of footage in low light conditions and I up the ISO to brighten the picture. Also I plan to dabble in astrophotography, and in the lowest of all light conditions, Deep Space Object photography (nebula and galaxys etc) a massive ISO rating if favourable. Feel free to share info with us amigo, but be sure to share some pictures aswelldont forget shutter lag.. (on most point and shoot cameras)

You are well on your way now! To think a few days ago you didnt have the camera, now you are snapping trichs, gratatas!Got these last night getting a little better using the cam.
that's me, a monkey driving a ferrariOhhhhhhh I lie alot and make up the rest..
dont get stuck on the program camera settings.. any fool can shoot and hope for the best in the end..
my 1st wedding me and my partner shot over 1500 raw images each...
raw.. raw damit..!! this was worse then we hoped for.. 1st wedding was free too....
loved to edit the wedding photos.. to this day keep saying I wont ever do another... last one was 5-12... guess I lie alot more then I want.. LOL
thank you!Thats a pretty kickass collection of macro work
Yeah you are managing to capture good detail, keep it up! I find with macro stuff you have to have the apperture up to a silly amount to get more of the bud in focus. In your pics you are only focusing on a very narrow portion of the bud so it will be impossible for you to get rid of the blurrs and the whole thing in focus. You need to pump up the apperture, even if it means lowering your shutter speed alot. I think you could afford to turn up the apperture at least a bit before touching other settings as I'm seeing a bit of over exposure (too much light). Also there might be pre-set white balance options on your camera. I set mine to tungsten and it goes a long way to normalising the colour of light emitted by an hps.Still have not taken them outside in the real light yet but starting to get better at this.
Any suggestions
