Photography Assignment 1

I am so exictied to say that I am finally enrolled in the Jessica Sprague Online Photography Class. If you remember, I got my camera last summer for my birthday and have wanted to learn to use it. It has taken me months to get into this class, because it fills up fast. Our first assignment was learning about Shutter Speeds and ISO. In this first picture of Lexi jumping, I used a slow shutter speed, 1/60 and an ISO of 800. I took this picture in the early evening and needed more light, that is why I used the higher ISO. With the slower shutter speed, you can see Lexi's face but parts of her are blurred.In this second photo, I used a fast shutter speed 1/640 and ISO of 800. Notice how crisp this picture is. Her hair didn't even have a chance to lay down. With the faster shutter speed, she is frozen in action.
