Finally taking a digital photography class!

I've started an on-line digital photography class this week. My first lesson was Shutter Speeds - nothing like diving into the deep end. I took 89 photos and was happy with about 5 of them! Thank goodness for digital, because practicing with prints would get expensive quickly.

Here are my retouched photos of fast (freezes action) shutter speed

and slow (blurs action )shutter speed

But . . . here is my favorite photo of the day!

Can you tell it was sunny and in the 80's today?

I don't mess around with aperture and shutter speed on all, or even most of my shots, but when I want a certain look, I love knowing how to get it SOOC.
