The sky has been a constant source of inspiration lately... have you noticed the amazing clouds in just the past few days?
This first image is an example of aperture and shutter speed working together. I wanted the whole scene to be in focus, so that means a small aperture was in order. It was starting to get dark, so if I wanted to shoot at f/16 to get a wide depth of field, my shutter speed had to be about 1/2 second. I knew I could not hold steady for this long without some shake, so I supported the camera on the dock, and exposed for 1/2 second. This worked well because it created a smoothing blur of the water, which makes the picture a little softer, and less busy. This allows your eye to travel through the picture with more ease... in my opinion, of course.
