Shutter speed practice

After my recent photography lesson on shutter speeds, I've been eager to apply my new knowledge. So Bobby and I went hiking with the dogs this morning so I could try my skills with photographing Moose.

A higher shutter speed used to show Moose running, but with less blur. The images came out pretty sharp, despite his running speed...

Below, the shutter speed was too low to make the images crisp, although it shows movement. Also some camera shake involved with the blurring, I imagine (no tripod was used). Low shutter speeds are great for capturing waterfalls, rivers, etc – when you want to the image to have motion.

It was a lot of fun trying out the different shutter speeds on my camera and getting more familiar with how to use this feature appropriately to capture the right image for the moment. I still have a long way to go, but at least I'm headed in the right direction!  ;) 

 

 

 

Yes, Roscoe wears his dog snuggie when we go outside. Otherwise he gets too cold.
