This week was tough, I'm still trying to understand all the settings and when to adjust what. One really nice thing that I discovered about my camera and software, FinePixViewer, is that it captures my camera settings and displays them in the image browser. This was really nice and helped a lot when it came to learning about shutter speed and aperture because I could see the settings that the camera determined when I had it set on auto.

Shutter 2 Aperture F8.0 - Flash on |
 |
Shutter 1/200 Aperture F2.8 - Flash on Hard to believe that these two shots were taken in the same minute. I wouldn't say that either are good, but it does show the different settings. |
| I pulled my tripod out this week. I had only used it with my camcorder, so I was excited to try it out with my digital. My boyfriend plays baseball and I am the unofficial team photographer. He was very excited when he saw the tripod and just knew I could get great shots of his team. LOL, every time I get a new toy, he figures out a way that I can use it for baseball. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take more than one shot of each subject. | |

Sutter Speed 1/450 Aperture F5.6 Alex is the closer for the team. He's really awesome. I took some really great shots of him (he's very tall an lanky and made a great subject--human pretzel). I was really happy with the fact that my camera caught the ball in mid air. |

| I'm going to the San Francisco Forty Niners game this Sunday. I'm going to bring the tripod and the camera with me and I hope to get some cool shots. Any tips on sports photography that you could provide me with would be very appreciated by me and my boyfriend. :) | |
