Minter Gardens
Shot taken at Minter Gardens in Chilliwack, BC. This is an amazing place to shoot flowers, waterfalls, etc. You can't go wrong here!

Critter from Home
Harold Ducks and Junk
I was working on shutter-speed priority and used 1/250 to freeze the movement of the water and birds. The camera selected F4.9, which left me with an adequate depth of field. The ISO was set to 160. This was shot with a Canon S90 point-and-shoot and cropped later in Photoshop.
I like the contrast in colors and texture between the birds and the junk in the wate.
Evelyn - and the wheel turns round & round...
This image was taken at Lakefair at 9:30pm. I didn't really have an absolute "favorite shot" this week, but this is the closest. What I like best about the photo is the lighting - with the high ISO, the sky color was a deep blue in contrast to the colorful wheel. My disappointment is that the shot is a little boring, so I took the picture at a different angle. I think the color draws some interest to the photo; also since the bottom is brighter because of the overhead lights, you can see the people in line. Because of the light changes due to approaching darkness, I was practicing more with ISO than metering. I just noticed the moon in the background - cool!

Capitol Building at Dusk
7.13.2010
I like the movement in the water in this shot, and the texture of the waves.
It was shot at 1/1250 with an aperture of f7.1, an ISO of 3200, and a focal length of 52mm.
I would have liked to see it a bit more smooth in the waves, so I could have opened up the shutter speed for a bit longer.
Overall though, I like the composition.
Larisa Wade "Sunlight"
This photo was taken in my yard on a sunny, windy afternoon. I like the sunburst and the motion of the leaves; next time I might try to make the tree trunk lighter. I chose the shutter speed because it's the lowest my camera could handle without making everything blurry, but it captures the blur in moving objects.
Shutter Speed 1/8 second, Aperature f/20, ISO 100, Focal length 70 mm

Jenna Kearns—"Swing Time"
Practicing shutter speed, I wanted to capture the movement of the golf swing.
Details: Nikon D70, Shutter speed 1/10s, f/16.0, ISO 200, Focal Length 24 mm
I selected this shutter speed because I wanted to capture the entire swing. I like that you can see the club bend and the ball on the tee and the line that the ball took after impact.
If I could change anything, I'd position myself so the background was the green instead of the trees, and I'd probably make the shutter speed faster so that the golfers legs and head are less blurry.
Elizabeth Hyde - Cat's Play
I thought it would be fun to experiment at home with action and blurring. Jazz, my Siamese, loves the laser pointer and dashes in if he hears it being moved or picked up. I left the parts of the bookshelf and couch in the shot to give a sense of place and also to provide a non-moving contrast. I used my 18-55mm lens. Shutter speed of 1"3, aperature 4.0, ISO 200. It was hard to keep him interested in playing in one spot for the benefit of the camera. . . .
HENRY "silky smooth"
Practicing with shutter speed, desiring to give the water the silky smooth appearance.
f/25, 1/5, ISO 200, 55mm.
The water feels so light and airy. There is still so much to learn but I am excited I could make adjustment on the camera to capture my vision of "silky smooth".
To change: I would like about three hundred more shots at the same scene.

Evelyn - "getting her kid-groove on"
I attended a noon concert at Huntamer Park in Lacey and saw kids dancing near the stage. I thought this would be a great opportunity to practice shutter speed. This picture was my favorite because of the girl's body position, the bright colors of her clothes, and the movement that showed up with the slower shutter speed. I debated about cropping out the girl's foot and upper body on the left of frame, but opted to keep it in for interest and it also shows movement. I think another thing I could have done is to take more shots and maybe have gotten a foot in motion or a smile on her face.

Rachael Beck- "I am a Mountaineer": a shutter-speed excercise
This picture was taken with a Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi with a Shutter speed of 1/32 seconds, an F-stop of f/8, ISO speed of 1600, flash, and a focal length of 18.0 mm. The shutter speed and flash were chosen for the benefit of motion blur and subject focus in the same image, the ISO was chosen because of the lighting, and the focal length was chosen so that this image was close and personal, but not too close. I like this image because it has movement, yet it is still generally clear, it has emotion, it has interaction, and it makes me feel something. I instinctively like big, wild smiles that come not from the urging of a photographer, but from a moment captured by a photographer. I would change the angle. I would change the ISO to 800, or 400.

Sarah Lloyd "Taking It All In"
It was taken around dusk, so there was a pretty good amount of lighting available. I wanted the middle ground of the shot to be clear, but not the trees in the far background, which is why I chose a 5.0.
I really like the lines and patterns in this shot, and I love how my eye moves throughout the photo. I like the usage of the rule of thirds, and the direction that she is looking. I also like the lighting and am glad I went out when I did to shoot.
If I were to shoot it again, I think I would walk in one more step, cropping in a bit more on the top and bottom. But I think overall it's a good image.

Vancouver Island - Cam
Larisa Wade "Urban Vibrance"
This is a shot of the big tree mural in downtown Olympia. I liked the vibrant colors, but next time i may try to reduce the glare on the plates. I chose ISO-800 because i thought it was a middle-range number, as the light wasn't very extreme, F-stop f/8 because i wanted the main objects to be in focus without great detail on the bricks. I am getting this info from a computer w/o a histogram, but I assume it is balanced.
Evelyn - water on the falls
I took this shot at Tumwater Falls.
Aperature 5.6, ISO 400, 200 mm focal length.
My histogram was pretty even - I like the flat water at the top and the flowing water below. This is a beautiful spot for photos. Maybe I could have changed this shot by setting my ISO to 100 - I wonder if it would have given the water a blurred/motion effect - may have been interesting. Nonetheless, I like the reflections at the top of the falls and the framing of logs.

Canadian Goose on the Water
This photo was taken at Tumwater Historical Park. I enjoy the reflection in the water, the grass, the slight blur background, and the branch adds interest. My Nikon D40 settings were f/5.6, ISO 400 with a focal length of 200 mm. The histogram had a range of dark to mid tones. I could have used more blur in the background by adjusting the aperature to 4.0.
