Week 9 - LOUD

Week 9 - LOUD

f/22, 1/25 sec., ISO 100

I was trying to work on panning Yahoo on the swing to get a lot of noise in the background but keep her sharp but I think I need to practice that. My ISO and fstop was as low as it was go but it was so bright out that I couldn't get the motion I wanted without overexposing so I did a lot to this photo to play down all the light but get the motion I wanted. 

f36, 1/4 sec., ISO 100 on a tripodI went running outside this day when we were getting 40 mph wind gusts. I had headphones playing music under a sock hat and the wind still roared in my ears and I thought wow, what LOUD wind. I tried to capture how much the wind was moving with this tree but I'm not too happy with the results. 

Next week's theme is QUIET. I'm a mom of three kids. I'm afraid next week's theme may be impossible for me! Oh, and I'm trying to talk my mom into joining my friend and I in this challenge. If I'm successful I'll start putting up her photos too. Come on Mom! Don't let us down!
