What I find so interesting are the pros and cons of these two pictures.
The only difference between these two is the shutter speed. In the darker picture, the shutter speed is at 1/1000, and in the lighter picture, the shutter speed is at 1/500. When the SS is faster, it doesn't let as much light in, as shown in the picture above. I think the top picture is too dark, but I don't think the bottom picture is much better. I like that it is lighter, but it is light to the point that it is almost washed out. I suppose, if I turn up the contrast, it could help a bit. The top picture has a lot of contrast and it helps to highlight the sunlight reflecting in the raindrop. I could turn down the contrast on that one a bit. It all depend on your taste.
This one is bright-- brighter than the picture above it, but it works! SS is at 1/500 just like the darker one...hmmm...odd....
I love this picture of Maggie. She looks so natural. The SS is higher, but the aperture is small, so as to make up for the high SS. I usually turn up the SS when I am taking pictures of my dogs, because, no matter what, they cannot keep still! Then, I can capture their motion with little or no blur.
She loves to just walk around and sniff and explore.
Now, to get Brody involved and doing something, I had to put a little peanut butter (his favorite) on a tennis ball and throw it a couple times. Once he realized that the peanut butter was on the ball and not in my hands, this worked pretty well. The grass is green, the sky is blue, and I couldn't ask for more.
Well, I guess I could crop it a bit...
And turn up the saturation...
Better?
I think so. It really helped with the grass!
Mission accomplished.
