Hello, this is a fun challenge – especially since I just finished your latest course (: I believe you used a slower shutter speed 1/30th while panning slightly to add a slight blur to the man, loved the left foot off the step as well, focal…
Hi David – Love a guessing game! Shutter speed about 1/10 sec to get the movement in the fellow’s legs 35 mm at f 18 – your depth of field is great you increased the colour brightness – reds blues and yellows shadows in front of the boat ar…
I generally love your perspectives on photography, but I have to take issue with this one. We should all strive to create photos that matter. That is the highest level of artistry. I often share that as a beginner, you job is just to do the…
(I haven’t read the other comments to avoid bias). I think you used a 35mm or maybe a 28mm wide-angle (full-frame). The shutter speed was on the slow side as seen in the blur of the man’s back foot. Maybe 1/10th of a second? The walls and s…
Good morning… You used a moderate wide angle lens with a relatively small aperture to get the depth of field but carefully kept the verticals vertical. Shutter speed was on the slower side, maybe 1/30 or 1/15 to get the figure slightly moti…
Hi David, What a great challenge! Here are my observations and thoughts: Focal length: 30 mm (capturing the entire bridge within the frame) Shutter speed: 1/8 s (introducing motion blur to emphasize the man’s movement) Aperture: f/8 (provid…
I sometimes think that these posts are David doing his best imitation of Tom Sawyer trying to get others to paint the fence. But they are a great exercise, so I am in. And I am trying to avoid reading the comments from others until I post m…
My thoughts. Tripod used, higher elevation than what I can do at 5 feet 3… Probably at ISO 1600, f/13, 2/3 second, white balance set to 5500K. Post processing would be sharpening (the man is not as blurry, same with the boat), dodging the s…
This is fun! What a good challenge to get those ‘muscles’ working. Lens pretty wide (I’ve been in Venice with a long lens!), fairly slow shutter speed (guy climbing up the steps is a little blurry), aperture f/11 or greater since everything…
To me it looks like a fairly normal to slightly wide perspective, so maybe 35mm lens was used at perhaps f 8- f11, because there is sharpness in the depth of the background building. The shutter speed is fairly slow at perhaps around 1/20th…
Hi there! I’m new to your blog, not a professional, and really appreciate the content. I also love this photo. I think you placed the camera at the edge of the water, on the low side (i’m short, so maybe my full height of 5′). Looks like yo…
Oh! What a fun challenge! Hi David, Greetings from Indianapolis! Thanks so much for the invitation. Now, let’s see how green I am. I’m going to say that you shot with a slow shutter speed (SS around 1/30) to show a bit of life/motion in the…
