Photo for April 25


The streaks you see in the background are rain drops. My shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the drops. My f-stop wasn't large enough to get a sharp focus of the branch. But I did not want the house next door to be sharp. Tech notes: Shutter speed: 1/60 sec. F-stop: f 2.8. ISO 200. Focal length 200.






The streaks of rain are smaller. My shutter speed still was not fast enough to stop the drops. My f-stop was large enough to get a sharp focus of the branch, without the house next door to being sharp. I also shifted my body to put more of the branch against the black part of the house. Tech notes:Shutter speed: 1/500 sec. F-stop: f 5. ISO 3200. Focal length 200.

cool. I like that last one where you can see a bit of the rain on the branch.

Nice pictures. Is this a red maple?

I don't know what kind of tree it is. I'll identify it when it gets some leaves on it.
