Thursday's Assignment
Make a photograph with motion blur of one kind or another. Use a slow shutter speed, pan, or both.
I tried shooting some pictures of leaves blowing today as the wind was really whipping around. Even tried to catch a car coming down the street with rapid fire shutter snapping but that didn't work out either. Of course, I had to whip out my handy dandy guide for Nikon dummies to see how to shoot motion. This type of photography is beyond my grasp- but I did remember this picture of e that I took a while ago. We had been sitting outside and she and the little guy were playing while I was just doing some random shooting. I think she was finally telling me she had had enough. I had the dial set on automatic setting but the one that has a picture of a child on it. Don't know exactly what happens with that setting- does it slow the shutter speed down or speed it up? Does it let more light in or less? When I read what to do in my handy dandy guide it said to set the manual dial to S and then turn the aperature to approximately 500. After that it lost me- but at least I had this picture I could use. Plenty of motion blur here.
So for this photo I did automatic set on child.
