Day 3 - Shutter Speed

So the first mode we're working on is shutter speed or on my camera - TV. The TV means time value, and it controls the amount of time the shutter is open and therefore, the amount of light allowed into the photo. I spent some time last night turning the dial and figuring out the range of time value (250 = fast, less light and 1" = slow, more light).
Today was Adam's soccer game where I am the coach and therefore, Andrew gets to be the default photographer. I learned a lesson today...return the camera to "Auto" mode after playing with new settings otherwise your husband will take pictures like this of the entire first quarter: Don't see anything? That's because the shutter speed was way too slow for such bright outdoors and the picture ended up way overexposed. See what we're learning :) Fortunately, he realized it wasn't working and I was able to easily turn the mode dial back to the happy and easy automatic green square for him at the quarter break. He then took a handful of fun photos... I plan to take some pictures myself tomorrow with different shutter speeds to play and learn some more...
