Assignment 2

I had so much fun this week.  I am finding my lost love for photography!  I have continued on with last week's lesson and continued to shoot many single theme pictures of flowers (from the Easter Bouquet I received) and my most exciting shot was a shot of a sunset with rays I got through the trees.   It was exciting as we have not seen the sun shine for so long around here, that it was unbelievable to even have a sunset!!  The visual of squinting our eyes (closing the opening to see in the distance)  was the key to really getting aperture...I would be curious to hear other students "oh, I get it now" moments.



This is my favoirite - Frozen action...my son was jumping off of a swing (yes, I realize he is a bit big for this, but he sure impressed his nephews!!)  The Shutter speed was set at 1/1250, the fstop was at 4.00 and the ISO was at 100.

Frozen Action

 Implied Action  - If I could post more than one photo for each category, I would have posted some of the Frozen actions photos I got of my grandson's chasing bubbles, but instead I chose this one of the implied action of the bubbles moving through the air.  My shutter speed was set to 1/50, my fstop at 19.0 and my ISO at 100.

Implied Action

This is my attempt at panning.  Bright sunny day...just as Brooke warned us against.  I am anxious to go out again and keep trying...perhaps when the sun gets a bit lower in the sky.  I realize my subject, Caleb, should have been more in focus.  I wore the poor child out in the attempt!  Shutter speed was at 1/30, fstop at 18.0 and ISO at 160.
