Always Learning

Lots of change. Including trying some new kinds of photography. Since January I've taken interior house shots, shot several girls soccer games, and a wedding. I've been very happy with alot of the resulting shots. It's been especially satisfying because I've tried different techniques that I've not used too much before.

At the soccer games, I've tried panning with a slow shutter speed in order to get an in-focus subject, with the background showing motion blur. Yesterday I was switching between shutter priority and aperture priority (1/20 and wide open, respectively), too. I wanted to see motion blur in the subjects, and stopped motion. That shutter speed was too slow, though - way too much blur, not enough subject.

The wedding shots were experimental more in the processing than the shooting. I used some Lightroom presets that I hadn't used before - almost all of them black and white presets. I also used hdr for a few shots of family and friends sitting during the ceremony - pretty nice.
