Coreen–I’m curious….it looks pretty bright and sunny here but your ISO was set at 640. Why so high? Thanks!
If you look at my Shutter-speed it was very high. I had to up my ISO to stop everything from blurring when the Alpaca’s ran around. It was a very sunny day and there were a lot of elements in the scene that reflected the sunlight. As soon as I tried to bring down my shutter-speed everything was overexposed.
Got it! Thanks so much, Coreen.
My pleasure, Lois. Next time I will use a smaller aperture around F16, then I can bring down my shutter speed and also my ISO to about 320. It all depends on the light of course.
Thanks so much for explaining this, Coreen. It is so helpful.
