Thanks for attending the workshop on Saturday. Please use the comments section to add any further questions you have. I'll keep adding posts to this blog based on your questions.
Hi Dinesh , I liked this pic from your album http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4112900454451&set=a.1896802053376.2108849.1041348332&type=3&l=5c49eb5a0d%20&theater
my guess is this is shot with wide aperture and very high shutter speed. Is this correct ? or is there any other way to capture this ?
Hi Sunny, Glad you like the pic and thanks for the question.
The key to this photograph is the shutter speed not so much the aperture. You need to pick a shutter speed that is slow enough to capture the motion in the background, in this case a moving train. After you figure out what shutter speed you need, select the appropriate aperture and ISO and shoot away :)
One thing to keep in mind - in this photograph the subject is off to a side. Make sure your focus point lines up with the subject. Using the focus point at the center could have thrown things off.
Another, marginally quicker way is to set your camera on Tv or shutter-priority mode, choose an appropriate shutter speed and shoot away. The camera will select the best aperture for your image.
The shutter speed depends on the speed of the object in the background. In this picture the background is a fast moving train so even at 1/50s it will be rendered as a blur. This image was shot hand-held. I'll follow up with a post on capturing motion in images.

Do we need to use a tripod for this picture, coz the way i understand is we need to have a low shutter speed value ( probly something around 1-2 secs)
