Tumwater Falls Park




My favorite is the last photo in this series (Expo. 1/8 , Focal Length 90 and ISO 100)...I have always wanted to blur water! Too much fun!! I think I could have had better composition on the middle photo, my goal was the small pool of water and needed to make it tighter. The histogram had good balance, not perfect...but we learned on Saturday not to worry so much about that tool on our cameras. I also played with white balance on another series of pictures on Saturday, and it gave me a better understanding of this setting. Really have enjoyed this class....looking forward to the next one.

I did a little work in photo editing in changing the britness on this image.

Tumwater Falls Park

Falls: .3 sec., f/20, ISO 100, 28 mm. Bridge: .6 sec., f/20, ISO 100, 22 mm. The American Bittern photos were captured on one of my very recent ventures to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. I just happened to be there at the right time. Robert, is this the same bird you shot?


These were taken from the same spot, 1 @ f/29, 1/6 & ISO-100. The other @ f/5.0, 1/200 & ISO-100. I was really trying to see if I could get the water to freeze in the reflection of the water pool.

I have a lot of other pictures that showed the "stopped" water. So I was happy to get these.

"Water Blur" - Jason

Melissa- Capitol Lights

30 second exposure, f/20, ISO 100, 5:45 pm

15 second exposure, f/8, ISO 100, 6:00pm


The blue photo was taken from the 4th ave bridge. The red photo was taken from the top of the 5th ave bridge just before the traffic circle. I like that the photos have such different moods. The blue photo was exposed a lot longer, and it was taken earlier, so I was surprised that it was the darker photo. I think maybe the red photo came out red because the fog was setting in and somehow the light seemed more red in the fog. The one thing I'd change if I could is that I would have cleaned my lens before I shot these!

Silk-Autumn

I cropped this image to rid the photo of a protruding log distracting the elegance of the silky water. :) My shutter was set to 1/20sec, f/20, and ISO 100. 55mm length. Camera on a tripod. I did no editing to this image. Well, unless cropping counts!

Playing with the shutter-Autumn

I really enjoyed taking these photos. In this photo i like how it shows the different textures in the moving water but also the stillness of the water in the pools below. Two contrasting things going on. My shutter was 1/640sec, ISO 100, f stop 4.5 at 30mm. I did do some editing to this to add more saturation and sharpness. Did not use a tripod.

Nuthatch


This was a very fast bird to take a photo of. I hand-held the camera with a 400 mm lens with a shutter speed of 1/400. Aperture was f 5.6 and ISO was 1600. I would have liked to have taken on a tripod with with lower shutter speed and lower ISO.

Lu - Frozen & Silky



I couldn't find 2 of the same scene that illustrated this as well as these 2 different scenes did. Frozen was taken at 1/1250, f 4 and ISO 1000, focal length 50mm. Silky was taken 1/10, f 22, ISO 200, focal length 72 mm. I shot at higher and lower shutter speeds, but these were the best of the bunch.

Train in Seattle

This was a 30 second shutter speed. I pressed the shutter down when the railroad crossing lights started to flash.

Apeture assignment

I shot this with the range of aperture settings.
This one was at f5. I like the soft focus of the trees
in the background. This setting also happened to have the most balanced histogram. As the aperture size decreased the
histogram became more on the dark side.

3 Point -Autumn

Photo taken at Solo Point.
ISO 400, 131mm, F/5.0 White balance set to custom. Av camera setting.

Jessica - "Lunch Time"


For this image, I focused on my child closest to me. I wanted to see how blurred each of the other kids would be as I changed the aperture setting.
Camera was on aperture setting f/1.6, ISO 800, focal length 50mm (fixed), Canon 30D camera, and auto white balance.
I tried several white balances and wasn't thrilled with any of them. The image is a bit under-exposed and there is some info falling off on the left side of the histogram. One change: I would play more with the combination (aperture, ISO and white balance) to get a lighter exposure as well as trying different compositions.

Droplets -Autumn


Photo taken at Solo Point. ISO 800, 250mm, F/5.6 White balance custom. Av camera setting.

Nisqually Barn


I took about ten shots of this barn at Nisqually. Aperture at 10, ISO at 100, focal length 70, camera was D500, white balance was auto. Histogram was mostly dark to bright tones. I would used a shorter focal length if I had had a different lens.

Aperture Priority Shot

On my way to photograph a couple of other sites I stopped to shoot a controlled fire on Marvin Road, just north of the freeway. The camera was set on aperture priority with ISO 400, f/9, at 1/60 sec. I recently read that if a photo has a reflection that you should focus on it. Maybe Barbra will comment.
