A sunny day is EXACTLY when you should use 100. The higher the ISO number, the MORE sensitive to light the camera becomes. So the higher numbers are meant for when there is LESS light. <br /><br />What mode do you shoot in? Full manual? Aperture priority? Something else? I usually shoot aperture priority, which basically means I set the ISO and the aperture, and the camera picks a shutter speed to expose properly. <br /><br />I just went and looked at the EXIF data on a bunch of my own shots of flowers that were taken on bright sunny days with no shade, ISO 100 and f2.8. And in all of them, the speed was at least 1/800, with more of them being 1/1000, and even one 1/2000. So I'm guessing your problem is your shutter speed. <br /><br />Try shooting the same scenes in aperture priority with the same ISO and aperture, and see what shutter speed the camera picks.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123957715477488518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-77642769634974771442010-09-22T17:37:06.726-04:002010-09-22T17:37:06.726-04:00Did you have it on manual mode?

I took a class earlier this year. It was so helpful for learning stuff like this!Jen Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257374047455590078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-52547154422927065442010-09-21T19:54:08.212-04:002010-09-21T19:54:08.212-04:00if you were shooting on aperture, your iso was too...if you were shooting on aperture, your iso was too much for a sunny day....i would have kept it at 400.<br /><br />also check your spot metering to see where it's at...it seems like it was in the wrong spot and that may have caused the darkness....<br /><br />and even at a 400 iso....an aperture at 2.8 to 5.6 your shutter speed could have been at 1/60 and you would have been fine...i think.<br /><br />BUT it's so hard to tell without looking at the camera and your location.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094533582512917616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-35599175425381280662010-09-21T19:03:27.307-04:002010-09-21T19:03:27.307-04:00aww dear i so wish i could help... but i need help...aww dear i so wish i could help... but i need help myself..:)) so sorry i couldn't come by to wish you on your Birthday.
