Football Pictures have been released

What an amazing response thank you all for your kind words regarding my football pictures it has been great to hear from so many of you. Just a few bits of business if you want to order a DVD it will be more cost effective for you all to order as a group and once I get a date from Kendra we will start taking orders. So either get in touch with me or with her. I have been able to slow the images down so you will be able to see each image for a longer time. For anyone wanting to see the still images of the game you may view them at

The question " Can you help me understand the manual settings work?"

There are 3 areas of exposure and most people think of are 2 shutter speed and aperture but there is the 3rd ISO. I have touched on all 3 here.

Simple put the shutter speed is a tool that can control the speed of the subject if you wish to freeze the action you use a fast shutter speed if you want to show your subject in motion you use a slower shutter speed.

There is also a term called “dragging the shutter” this term means to hold the shutter open for a longer period of time to capture more light then what the aperture can allow in. For example the image on the blog with the bride and groom in the area with all the candles to achieve this it was a longer exposure with the couple holding still to stay in focus and to allow the candle light enough time to record on the sensor.

Apertures are usually a little harder for people to grasp. They control two things the first is how much light will enter the lens the larger the number 11 16 22 the smaller the aperture the smaller the number 1.2 2.8 4 5.6 the larger the aperture. They will also control how much of a picture is in focus by use of depth of field. The smaller the number the shallower the depth of field the larger the number the greater the depth of field is.

How they work together has one more tool that is your ISO. ISO is how sensitive to light your sensor will be. This is a very important part of the equation and a lot of time will be over looked. In low light situations a higher ISO is used like 800, 1600 even higher still on the professional cameras 3200 and 6400. However when working in bright light you will want to choose a lower number like 100 or 200. Choosing the wrong type can effect your results.
