Photography Week 2

Now that I've got my nifty new camera, I can participate in this weeks lesson.  I'm under the weather, so this post will be short.  Head over to Meredith's blog for a great run down on this weeks lesson on ISO and shutter speed.

I played around with the shutter speed on my camera quite a bit, and here are the results.

Picture 1--shutter speed of 1/60.  The shutter is open longer, so the movement of the water is not frozen in time.

Picture 2--shutter speed of 1/100.  You can already see individual drops of water.

Pictrure 3--shutter speed of 1/1000.  The water looks frozen.

Picture 4--shutter speed 1/2000.  This is as high as my camera goes and I wanted to see what it looked like. :-)

So there you have it--my shutter speed lesson.  This is pretty cool, and setting my shutter speed faster actually helped me get some great shots this weekend of my niece holding her new brother while she was rocking him.  More to come on my new nephew, once I kick this crud I've caught from my co-workers...
