I kinda have to do the Mom thing this afternoon, not to mention the housewife thing...which does include cooking supper.
So, in that case I promise (without my fingers crossed behind my back) to take out my camera in a while and snap some photos. In fact I will even work on the skill I will show you that I was attempting to work on the other day.
Creating sharp images in motion as opposed to creating blurred images in motion.
The super-realist in me wants, craves, desires above all else super sharp crisp images always!!
I know with the other part of my brain that there is more to picture taking than that and know I must pursue perfecting the blurry kind.
The first thing I must do is attempt to control the adrenaline output and do more than just click the button "hoping" for something good.
I will show you my adrenaline shots anyway...and you will know that really I was just trying not to get trampled by this stampede of horses every time they came by!!!
I set my camera to shutter priority, which means I told it how fast I wanted it to see, and it would choose for me the aperture. This helps to be able to capture motion without guessing on both things.
I set it at 1/80 and got this:
The camera chose an f/stop of 10
I switched it to 1/3200 which is getting close to as fast as my camera can go (arrrggghhh)
and got this:
f/stop 1.8...as small as it will get, or technically I think that is actually as big as it will get. shrug!!
See the difference???
Blur at 1/80:
f/stop 10
1/320:
f/stop 5.6 This larger number means more of it will be in focus!! NICE!
Well I hope you learned something there...I sure did!
Focus, and work on skill not just fear and hope!!!
I will be practicing this some more, cause I just happen to know where these horses live!
