Seeing is as tomorrow is the last day of class, it is time to wrap up this blog. Through the close call of falling into the Shiloh Conservation pond to extremely cold fingers adjusting settings in the Beartooth's, I rather enjoyed the class. There are three major things that I will keep with me in the future. The first is to keep all of my corners clean. At first I did not think that it was super noticeable in my earlier pictures, but looking back on them now, I realize that none of my corners were clean. The second tidbit that I have picked up is that every camera has an autofocus button. Up until four weeks ago, I was shooting all of my pictures with a manually focused lens. Now that I have been using the autofocus button, my pictures as of late have been slowly getting clearer and clearer. The third thing that I have picked up is to not be scared of shutter and aperture priority modes. I was always taught not to use them because they were the "cheaters way" or the "easy way" to get good pictures. These modes are amazing and produce beautiful photos. Overall, I enjoyed taking the class and I think that I will keep doing it as a hobby and see what the spring and summer bring to the photo world.

Final Twenty Five

The settings for each picture is the information above the photograph. Also, up until four weeks ago, I had no idea that there was an autofocus button, therefore the pictures that were taken beforehand with manual focus will be labeled. 

ISO-3200  -- Aperture- ƒ/11 -- Shutter speed- 1/4000s

ISO-400 -- Aperture- ƒ/11 -- Shutter speed- 1/200s

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2500s -- manual focused

ISO-200  --  Aperture- ƒ/5 -- Shutter speed - 1/500s

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/5 -- Shutter speed - 1/1250s

ISO- 400  --  Aperture- ƒ/5 -- Shutter speed - 1/800s -- manually focused

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2000s -- manually focused

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2000s -- manually focused

ISO- 200 --  Aperture- ƒ/6.3 -- Shutter speed - 1/1600s

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed- 1/2000s

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/9 -- Shutter speed - 1/4000s

ISO- 100 --  Aperture- ƒ/22 -- Shutter speed - 1/100s

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/22 -- Shutter speed - 1/125s

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/5 -- Shutter speed - 1/4000s

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2000s

ISO- 3200 --  Aperture- ƒ/13 -- Shutter speed- 1/800s -- manually focused -- With the knowledge of the autofocus button now, if I were to go back and take this picture I would put the camera into aperture priority mode and adjust the ISO and Shutter Speed accordingly -- The ISO on this picture is also a little high due to the overcast on the day the picture was taken. 

ISO- 32 --  Aperture- ƒ/2.2 -- Shutter speed - 1/3968s *this picture was taken off of an iPhone 6

ISO- 400 --  Aperture- ƒ/8 -- Shutter speed - 1/2500s 

ISO- 3200 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/4000s

ISO- 200 --  Aperture- ƒ/20 -- Shutter speed - 1/60s

ISO- 200 --  Aperture- ƒ/6.3 -- Shutter speed - 1/1600s

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2000s -- manually focused -- The shutter speed on this picture is higher than it should be, if I were to go back and to this again I would definitely lower it.

ISO- 800 --  Aperture- ƒ/5.6 -- Shutter speed - 1/2000s -- manually focused

ISO- 3200 --  Aperture- ƒ/9 -- Shutter speed - 1/4000s -- manually focused

ISO-1600  --  Aperture- ƒ/5 -- Shutter speed - 1/200s

This photo was taken at Duck Creek yesterday morning. I am absolutely in love with the pattern in it. It was taken at an ISO of 400, a shutter speed of 1/200s, and an aperture of ƒ/10.
