Laurie - Two Distinct Textures

I know we're only supposed to post one image, but I have to be honest and say that I wasn't really happy with what I shot during the morning, so I went back later in the day! I ended up spending about twenty minutes watching water scum! ISO 800, F/4.5, ss 1/640, fl 75mm.

Laurie - Someone Doing Something

This was one of the first pictures I took today. Although I tried to meter correctly, I still lost some of the details in the bench, but I still like the over all effect.
ISO 100, F/36, SS 1/8 sec. Focal length 100mm

Kathryn Kramer

Windy day with lots of clouds and rain. ISO 400, Shutter 1/2500 and aperture F4.2. The dark clouds coming and going made it hard for me to get a bright picture with depth of field. The sun peeked through the storm and I got this shot.

Eastern Washington Robbi Houser

I made some attempts at taking photos of the grass blowing over in spokane this weekend.... which completely failed, so as we were driving back today i saw the clouds and i love the fields over in eastern washington, so i started clicking photos out the window as my husband drove along. SOOOO you can see his hand in the reflection of the window (because driving down the highway at 80 mph isnt really condusive to rolling down the window)... but i don't mind the hand it kind of ads a little bit to the image and the impression of movement. Camera settings 1/50 F22.

Big Steps

I took this at my nephew's first birthday party. He is just learning how to walk and I was trying to pan with the motion, but it didn't work too well since he was moving so slow:). I forgot to check the shutter speed before uploading it.

Terri Perkins -- Splash

This picture was taken with my Nikon D90 in Shutter Priority, 1/1000 sec., f/5.6, ISO 200.

I was trying to freeze both the movement of the water from the fountain and the children playing. Unfortunately I also froze the movement of the cars moving through -- I would like this shot better with out them!

I liked this image in particular because of the story it tells. This is the beginning of the story. These children were captivated by the fountain and as I was leaving were thoroughly drenched!

Drums

I wanted to show a little less blur and more of the drumsticks, but the camera would not allow me to go higher on the shutter speed. It was taken in the daytime at shutter speed 1/4, F4, ISO 250, focal lenght 44mm. Diane Delgado

Mike "Speed"

This is definitely more difficult than it looks! I have a few that turned out pretty good, but this one really gives the feeling of movement. Shutter speed 1/4 second, ISO 200, F2.8.

Heather Olsen - Tree in the Fog

I took this photo outside my front door at about 5:30-5:45 in the morning. I looked out and saw the fog and loved the way the tree looked with the fog all around it and starting to get light out. I had my shutter set at 1/10 and the ISO at 100. I would love to try to get the shot again, but using a tripod so I could get a better shot and not have to worry about blurring the picture.

Lindie "Flags"

It took a lot of shots to get this picture and I'm still not satisfied. I took this last night during the wind storm, which was blowing so hard it shook the poles too. I had the camera sitting on a solid base but not on a tripod, which probably wouldn't have made much of a difference since the wind would have blown the tripod too. I would like to hear some suggestions how I could have improved this shot. I took it at shutter speed 8 seconds, F4, and ISO 200.

Hollie Graham Full Moon

This shoot was taken in front yard around 11pm, I had to change the shutter speed several times to find the right one. I chose 1/60 sec, f/22, and ISO of 400 while using a tripod and timer. I loved that the clouds looked like rushing water! I wanted to add more clarity and focus but my view finder is misleading.

Hollie Graham "Light My Fire"

This photo was taken in my backyard, of the bonfire. I had my husband stir the fire. While I had my camera on a tripod, and set the time so there was no vibration, with a shutter speed of 1/30 sec., f/22, ISO 1600. What I like about the photo was the spark tracers. When it came to choosing the shutter speed I wasn't sure what to use. I just chose one, and kept on changing until I found one I liked. It will take some time before I will be able to choose the right one. Practice, Practice and more Practice.

I shot these two photo one after another. The first has a shutter speed of 1/1600, ISO 1600, F4. The second has a shutter speed of 1/125, ISO 80, F7. I've often wondered how to make waterfalls look like this so I'm happy I know the secret now.

Jessica Simon - Panning With Motion

This picture was taken at the Central Pierce Fire & Rescue Firefighter Recruit Academy Graduation on Saturday (very proud of my friend Ronnie!). It was at a high school performing arts center and the lighting was dark with spotlights on the graduates and stage with the audience in darkness. This photo is one of the first pictures taken when the graduates first walked out and I was trying to get my camera adjusted to the lighting. Photo taken with my Canon 40D on TV with Shutter 1/20, f/9, ISO 1600, and the flash on. I finally got a setting to work on ISO High that I didn't need the flash for the remaining time. I like how my friend is in focus and the rest of the people are blurry. I had to crop out some heads in front of me, so I wish that I would have been more aware of that while taking the shot.

Night Lite

This light changes colors every second or so. Sitting in the dark in the dining room made this easier. This was shot at iso 100, shutter speed 1 second f/2.8. I like the jelly fish design and in the dark like this makes me think this is how a live one would see the ocean at night. I don't like the shiny bald spot on top though but it only got brighter in other shots I took when I was experimenting.

Leaves

I was trying to show the wind through the leaves. I didn't end up getting much movement in this picture, but really liked the light. Shutter 1/30; F/16.

Laurie O'Brien - Sprint

Taken on Sunday at about 10:30 a.m. ISO 200, SS 1/200, F/5.0, Focal Length 90mm.
I shoot at a lot of bike races and learning how to shoot a picture like this is one of the reasons I took this class!!! I shot about 95 pictures this morning and had fairly good success. The hardest part was not losing the subject of my pan and losing focus. I might try an even faster shutter speed next time to capture even more blur in the wheels.

Seagulls - April Karreci

Shutter 1/2000, ISO 1600, FS 5.6. I was focusing on the seagull getting ready to land and didn't even notice the duck diving below until I looked at it on my computer. I cropped out an extra dock and some other stuff, I wanted the focus to be on the bird landing and the bird diving. It was cloudy and kind of dark out, I just kept playing with the shutter and ISO and finally got something that wasn't too dark but also captured the bird in flight. I would have like to have had more color in the pictures, it is all a varying shade of gray and a little boring to me.
