The image shot at iso 200 offers a better exposure and its easily seen.

Sky as a background element

wow great pic. thanks

Ok I would have loved to been able to take a great sky picture but our sky has been a washed out blue with no clouds.  Not very interesting.  So I have gone searching through my photos to see if I had taken anything that would work.  Thankfully I did.

I found 2 different sets. These are all straight out of the camera.

The first 2 pictures were taken with my Droid 2 cell phone 4th of July weekend.  The way that I got the differences was by pointing at the sky to get auto settings for the lighter features, and then the 2nd was focused on the darkness of the river.


f2.8
1/608 sec
ISO-56



f2.8
1/423
ISO-56


The next two are from my Canon A95. These were taken in 2008 so I am not sure what I did.


f4.9
1/60



f4.9
1/15

I keep looking at the sky and if I see anything interesting I will take a few pics.

im confused with this assignment

The way that I understood it, and I may be totally off base, is that we are to take pictures and then change something, the shutter speed, the ISO, to change the amount of light that is allowed in the picture.  So that we can see what differences the amount of light that is let in makes.

But like what if  you cant do that on your camera?

But like what if  you cant do that on your camera?

The way I did it was to point the camera at the area that is the brightest. partially push the shutter button, then frame up the picture like I wanted it.  Then for the next picture just frame up the picture as you normally would and click the button.

I am not sure if it will work on your camera or not.
