Photo 03-19-2008

F/3.5 exposure time 1/1600 sec ISO800
F/8 exposure time 1/40 sec ISO 80
F/3.2 Exposure time 1/60 sec ISO 100

Today was going to be a bad, rainy and stormy (with hail and tornados) day.... at least that was what they predicted, but besides some wind during the day and 10 minutes of rain it was just a normal day. Little bit gray but who's complaining! So no pictures of the heavy rain and hail, but pictures of the fountainwater that's flowing in the wind. And to practice what I learned, I took one with short shutterspeed and one with a little bit longer shutterspeed. (not too long, because it was hand held and with this wind it was not easy!). And because the theme is green, another botanical picture.

Great demonstration of shutter speed. I have not mastered the water thing yet. And I love that bright green!
