Flash another attempt

AP mode. F.8 1/80 ISO 200
No flash

AP Mode F.8 1/125 ISO 200

Fill Flash

week 4- Flash

1/100 F.8 ISO 200
No Flash
1/80 F.8 ISO 200
Fill Flash

First attempt. There are so many things to remember when taking good pictures! ahh, not an easy thing. This picture lacks composition, bad and lighting. I hate lighting... i am horrible at it!! really horrible. But it is a really good example of why you should use flash outdoors. the difference is amazing!

Week 2- ISO and Shutter Speed

F.4 ISO 1600
Shutter Speed 1/80

F.4 ISO 1600

Shutter Speed 1/200

this challenge was really hard becuase the lighting in my kitchen is pretty non-existant. I had to bump up the ISO horribly, and although the larger shutter speed worked, the 1/80 but in order to get it really small, (making the water look flowey) i would need way more lighting. Not gunna happen. Ill try this again outside when it gets warmer.
