2014 Challenge #2 - Things in Action


Hello Everyone.  This challenge was exactly that, a bit of a challenge for me.  I tried several different things and thank you to those who gave me tips.  I believe it helped a great deal. I think I like the fan shots best.

I used the Shutter Priority for all shots. The ISO was on auto.  With the first 3 I tried different shutter speeds to see what would happen.

Photo #2 - 1/20, f/6.3, ISO 100


Photo #3 - 1/5, f/18, ISO 100
Again, my model . . . Tiger

For these 2 I used the longer shutter speed and turned the zoom while the shutter was open.

2014 Challenge #1 - Shoot anything that begins with the letter "A".

Hello Everyone!  I'm using a Canon EOS Rebel T3.  I have 2 lenses, but usually shoot with a 18-55 mm.  I try to work in different modes as I'm still attempting to learn Aperture and Shutter Speed and how they work together, but I'm starting to get a handle on it a little at a time.

Any suggestions are appreciated, as are tips (and I do mean cash) !!!



So . . . A is for ART ?????

A girl I work with makes these little (creepy) dolls out of paper and sometimes corks.
