2:12 ISO and Shutter Speed
Hello everyone and welcome to Week Two of the 12 week photo course, which focuses on ISO and Shutter Speed. Hopefully you have joined in this week. If not, it's not too late. You can find the assignment for Week Two HERE. Also, if you want to catch up, the pdf for Week One is here and you can still link up for the assignment over at Twenty-Six To Life. <---- click there to get to the week one link up! Click HERE to go to her site for this week's link up!
This week the question was: When should I use a faster shutter speed?
I often shoot in Shutter Priority (the little S) Mode, since it allows me to manipulate the light by changing the shutter speed and ISO. However, I always need extra tips and it was nice to go through step by step instead of just playing around with it when I am trying to take important photos!
Our assignment was to put an object (I used a glass) in the sink under running water and try changing your shutter speed (and consequently your ISO) in order to see what happens. Here is what I ended up with. Excuse the quality, or lack of it.
So, what I have decided is that I need more practice, especially with moving objects, as the shutter speed will change a lot when the movement changes a lot.

Our assignment was to put an object (I used a glass) in the sink under running water and try changing your shutter speed (and consequently your ISO) in order to see what happens. Here is what I ended up with. Excuse the quality, or lack of it.
For the first photo, I used a slow shutter, which gives the water a silky effect. However, the light was hard to control. If I upped the ISO, it was too bright, but as you can see, this one is not really light enough.
The second. Better light, not so silky water. You can start to see the bubbles, which means the higher shutter speed is stopping the motion a little.
Here we have a faster shutter speed, which means you have to put the ISO up even more or else you don't get enough light in that little bit of time. Notice the bubbles are more pronounced.
In this last one, you can see the individual water drops. However, the shutter speed is so fast, barely any light is getting in, so I had to bump the ISO WAY up, which causes the photo to be grainy.
After we were done playing in the sink, the assignment was to use your manual setting and your light meter to find a good light balance, becuase as you can see from the (bad) photos above, the light is the most important element.
Below, once again, is Papa P. He will probably be a regular feature. He holds nice and still. (click over to Kate's site and see who HER regular feature is!)
After doing the assignment, I experimented indoors and out to find a good balance of light.
Inside: Slow shutter, high ISO
Outside: Fast shutter / low ISO
So, what I have decided is that I need more practice, especially with moving objects, as the shutter speed will change a lot when the movement changes a lot.
Have you experimented with different shutter speeds?
Have you used the manual setting on your camera?
Join us next week for Week Three: The Color of Light

Riding the Rails: Brussels to Berlin
July 17, 2011 -- I took a Deutsche Bahn InterCity-Express train from Brussels to Berlin with a transfer in Cologne. The train makes intermediate stops at Liege and Aachen before reaching Cologne. From Cologne the train makes intermediate stops at Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Essen, Bochum, Dortmund, Hamm, Gutersloh, Bielefeld, Herford, Hannover, Wolfsburg, Stendal and Berlin-Spandau. DB ICE trains travel at speeds up to 200 mph (322 kph).
The train station at Liege, Belgium is spectacular. It was designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who also designed the new transit hub at Ground Zero in New York City and the Chords Bridge in Jerusalem.
In typical German fashion, Deutsche Bahn wants you to know exactly how fast and efficient their high-speed trains are. The ICE trains top out at around 200 mph (322 kph) so my train was gaining speed at the time I took this picture. For Americans reading this blog post, that is 155 miles per hour.
As we sped through the German countryside I was expecting to see alpine houses and gothic cathedrals, which I did. However, I also saw gigantic wind farms with enormous wind turbines dotting the landscape. And it seemed as if every other house I saw had solar panels installed on the rooftop. Germany is obviously not the windiest or sunniest country in the world, but the Federal Republic has had a Renewable Energy Act in place since the year 2000, so this is the result of over eleven years of generous incentives for wind and solar power. It is impressive to see so many wind farms and so many citizens powering their homes with the sun.
That evening we arrived at the multi-level, futuristic looking Berlin Central Train Station. Trains are coming and going all the time on different levels, making it look like something out of the Fox animated science fiction show "Futurama." So cool.
Here are photos and video of my high speed train trip from Brussels to Berlin. Click here to see the photo set on Flickr.
Are you or someone you love afflicted with Gluteal Atrophy Syndrome?
In order to achieve the ideal physique and body weight we must make efficient use of the three important aspects of physique recompositioning: Weights, Cardio, and Nutrition.
How many “cardio bunnies” do you know?
They diet pretty strictly and perform cardio religiously, but there is NO such thing as weight training or dietary “splurging” in their regimen! You can identify “cardio bunnies” by their distinct lack of hamstring and glute development… Basically, they run their butts off since they have no “reason” to have posterior thigh muscles (proper protein intake and weight training stimulation).
They run and run and run and switch it up by jumping on the Elliptical or StepMill for a few minutes… They shrink and shrink, but they still look like their former selves, only in a smaller version. They are still somewhat flabby and “soft”, but they are skinny. So, it makes it all OK!
Exactly how healthy is that?
What sounds better to you: fitting into size 2 jeans (if you’re 5’1” or shorter) but still having jiggly-wiggly arms and thighs OR fitting into a size 4 dress because your toned, muscular thighs need a little more wiggle room?
Would you rather be a skinny-mini girl in the smallest size you have ever worn or would you rather turn heads with your athletic arms and toned stomach while wearing just one size bigger than you imagined?
Think about that for a second, “bunnies”, before you hop on the treadmill for your 6 mile jog!
On the flip-side…
Maybe you know a few “meatheads” who NEVER perform cardio, because they don’t want to “waste calories” that could be used for growing!
When you ask a guy what muscles they would like to increase in size/definition, 9 times out of 10, the chest, arms, and abdominals will be mentioned!
Guys, think about this for a second: If you build up your muscles in the weight room and you can obviously tell that you are muscular, why wouldn’t you want to shed the body fat that obscures your well-built physique?
Cardio not only has a positive effect on body fat loss, it also has a positive effect on muscle gain. Muscle grows better in a lean physique, one that has been “ramped up” by intense weight training, proper nutrition and supplementation, and regular cardio throughout the week!
The 3 principles of physique recompositioning apply to all bodies, no matter the type and no matter the goal. Weight training, cardio, and proper nutrition should be across the board. The only difference is the amount of weight used and the amount of food eaten. The Laws of Physics (calories in vs. calories out, via weight training and cardio) don’t bend just because you want to fit into a size 0 dress or own a pair of 20” guns!
Don’t neglect one aspect of your 3-legged fitness stool! Take away one of those legs and your stool will topple over. Lean too much on one stool, and that leg will buckle right out from under you!
Think about that for a second, "bunnies"...

Summer 2011: Brussels, Belgium
July 16-17, 2011 -- Brussels is a bit off the beaten track. It is not the most popular tourist spot in Europe. It is weird and wonky -- the de facto capital of the European Union and home to the Atomium monument, pictured above. But Brussels is worth a visit because it is so unique. It is only a two hour train ride on the high-speed Eurostar from London St. Pancras so the city is easily accessible.
I stayed at the Hello Hostel, which doesn't have the social scene of a lot of hostels in bigger cities and is a little far from the city center, but nonetheless is a quality hostel and is within walking distance of a Metro subway station.
Brussels has a complicated history that from an initial observation it doesn't seem to have fully come to grips with yet. First there is Belgium's colonial legacy in Africa. In the lates 1800s and early 1900s under King Leopold II, Belgium colonized the current Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. There has been much suffering and bloodshed in the years following Belgian rule in these African nations. This excerpt is from the website About.com:
"The most important legacy of colonialism in Rwanda and Burundi involved the Belgians' obsession with racial, ethnic classification. The Belgians believed that the Tutsi ethnic group in Rwanda was racially superior to the Hutu ethnic group because the Tutsis had more "European" features. After many years of segregation, the tension erupted into the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which 850,000 people died."
This dated memorial pays tribute to a shameful period in the history of Belgium -- the colonization of Congo, Africa. It was inaugurated in 1921 by King Albert I.
And there is also the Nazi occupation of Belgium during World War II. Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1944, and there was active collaboration with the Nazis in persecuting Jews. Some 50,000 Jews lived in Belgium in the 1930s and about half were killed during the Holocaust. But not all Belgians went along with the Nazi persecution of Jews. There was a resistance movement. I visited the Military Museum at Park du Cinquantenaire and was disturbed to see Nazi era uniforms and regalia on display. But there was also this statue honoring Baron Jean Michel P.M.G. de Sélys Longchamps, a Belgian nobleman and World War II RAF fighter pilot remembered for his attack in 1943 on the Gestapo headquarters in Brussels in occupied Belgium.
But Brussels today is a vibrant, progressive city that is the de facto capital of the European Union. The city's European Quarter is home to the headquarters of the European Commission (Berlaymont building, pictured below), European Union Council and other EU institutions. Poland currently holds the sixth month rotating presidency. There are 27 member states in the EU. 17 of these member states, including Belgium, use the official currency of the eurozone -- the Euro.
And of course Belgium has some of the best food in Europe. Here is the famous Belgian waffle covered with chocolate syrup. And yes, it is as delicious as it looks.
While the EU conducts serious business in the city, the citizens of Brussels have a quirky sense of humor and don't take themselves or the city too seriously. How else can you explain the popularity of Mannekin Pis, a small bronze fountain sculpture of a little boy urinating into the fountain's basin?

Here is video of a Brussels Metro train arriving at Gare du Midi - Zuidstation:
And here is video of a Brussels Metro escalator. The escalators in Brussels are motion sensor, meaning they are stopped until someone walks up to the escalator and triggers the motion detection system and the escalator starts moving. This brilliant concept saves energy and reduces wear and tear on the escalators.
