Axioms

My model is satisfied with payment in puppy treats, but she did great.  I really like the way the last two especially turned out.  Also it was a cloudy day so the lighting was quite nice.

Blurred Action: F6.3 1/30 ISO: 1200

She was definitely running fast, I missed her a few times and had to redo the photo just to get her in the frame but I really like the ghostly blurred effect that the slower shutter speed offers.

Frozen Action: F6.3 1/1000  ISO: 600

 This was really cool, I lowered the aperture so it was a little darker but with the faster shutter speed I got some cool detail with the motion, like her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she runs like a fiend down the hill.

Deep Depth of Field: F6.3 1/200  ISO: 1600

I really like this one a lot, the detail in the bush in the foreground is sharp and focused; Moki was actually quite a ways back behind the bush, so the depth of field is nicely showcased here I think.  I also got her to look in my direction at the right time so the blurry silhouette is pretty cute.  But that's just me.

Shallow Depth of Field: F6.3 1/250  ISO: 1000

This one is my favorite.  The shallow depth of field brings the focus to the things up close, in this instance her cute furry face.  Isn't it a cute face??  She and I both had so much fun experimenting with different shutter speeds and apertures in this little mini adventure/homework, I'm still learning but I'm already excited with the things that I am discovering as I begin to experiment with manual settings.
