Controlling Exposure with Shutter Speed

 All three photos were taken at ISO 400 with an aperture of F8. Normally I would use F11 or higher for a scenic shot, but I a bit of a hurry and forgot to change it.  
 

exposure time 1/50 sec

exposure time 1/100 sec

exposure time 1/320 sec

The first and second shots are over exposed as it was darker, but not as dark as the last shot which is slightly under exposed.  I wanted both the detail in the fields and the dark cloud formation with the bright orange sunset to show in the photo. I will eventually edit the photo so that it is closer to what I saw on that day. 

I often take multiple shots at different shutter speeds, do you?

Slow Shutter

Happy New Year!

Wishing all a wonderful and bright year!

I decided to start the new year off with a little photographic fun. So I played a little with the lights on the Christmas tree, slow shutter speeds and controlled hand movement.

Then I decided I really wanted to capture colorful sparks flying around my granddaughter.

Which led to using light from the TV combined with the tree lights to create a shot representative of a colorful universe.
