More photography talk
My latest assignment is structured to help us start to get the relationship between aperture and shutter speed. Which is good because this is a difficult concept to grasp and no matter how many times I read about it or get someone to explain it to me I can't keep it all that straight. I am determined that this is the absolute last time, though. Seriously.
Part of the assignment deals with aperture and part with shutter speed. The shutter speed part is to take a photograph of a moving subject: streams, vehicles, waterfalls, or attend a sporting event. Take one photograph with a fast shutter speed (stop action) and one with a slow shutter speed (blur action). Ok, so. I want to answer the assignment, but I also want to take an interesting photograph. Vehicles? Could be interesting, but not really to me. I like those blurring moving car shots, but getting excited about taking one? Not so much.
I am stuck with streams or waterfalls I'm afraid. Or a fountain or the ocean. One of the photos has to be crystal clear (so I'm thinking splashing or droplets of water) and the other needs to be blurred--easier to do but harder to make interesting. I'm worried about taking an interesting shot. I can't get an interesting shot in my mind. I suppose I'll try to take some different angles and hope for the best. Sigh.

The word "aperture" makes me want to slap my hands over my ears and run away yelling, "LALALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
I'm impressed that you're doing this. And I love Z's expression in this picture. It looks like she's thinking, "Dude." Apples agrees with me on that, too.

I love this photograph way more than I could ever love a photograph of a waterfall.
