So now I should have no excuse to taking fabulous photos right? Well it's not that simple because although I now know about shutter speeds, correct exposures, using manual mode, f numbers (depth of field), ISO, focus points etc etc and what certain functions and settings do to the photos I take, it's not always easy to do in practice. If I'm taking a photo of a flower, for instance on one setting, which isn't moving and suddenly I spy a heron in flight and want to take that photo, I haven't got time to change the settings before it has disappeared into the great blue yonder. So to my mind, that's where auto does come into it's own! But I will persevere with getting my head round it all and hopefully one day I will take a perfect still photo of a bird in flight! Here are some of my attempts during the course.
 |
| Showing movement by panning |
 |
| Here I was trying to freeze the movement but I had incorrect shutter speed. |
 |
| My next attempt was much better. |
 |
| Showing perspectives. Keeping the subject in the frame and then taking two photos, This one with wide angle |
 |
| This one with zoom but I have moved back to compensate. |
For a bit of fun we were even shown how to make it appear that we had photographed ghosts. Those of you who know your way around a camera will immediately know how its done!
