As promised I got my lesson six photos done before class tomorrow. Lesson six was to experiment with telephoto photography. The instructor wanted us to try to get three specific subjects that are best shot with a telephoto lens. These are clouds, stars, and the moon. He gave hints and setting suggestions for these subjects. One thing he did mention about the moon was to keep the shutter speed fast. He said it is common for people to try and slow the shutter down because it is night time. I must admit, I am one of those people. He said that the moon itself is bright (especially when full or near full), and does not require a slow shutter speed. This makes sense! I, unfortunately, have not had the chance to shoot any of these three subject, due to it raining since Friday night!
The good thing is, this was not the specific assignment. The assignment was to take three shots. Each shot once at say 50mm, then again at 200+mm. I did like I did for lesson 5, and just drove around, staying in the car and shooting from inside the car. This is so that I did not destroy my camera! So, here are my three picks.
#1: Taken from the marina I was at for lesson 5. Taken at 55mm.
#1: Same spot at the marina at 300mm.
#2: Duck pond at 55mm
#2: Duck pond at 300mm
#3: Geese in field at 55mm
#3: Goose in field at 300mm.
Well, see you next week for lessons 7 and 8!!!
