Froze all my extremities off today... This is some of what I sacrificed those valuable appendages for; the rest are on film... I'll have to get someone else to develop for me now though. -b.m.

People, Seasons, Life, Movement
These are some of the unedited (with the exception of the B&W shot) images taken as of late. Shot at Valley Forge National Park, except for the little boy, who was photographed at Love Park; 15th and JFK, Philly.
The line between life and death is blurred at the hand of fall, and the button is pressed which captures a moment in this time that is gone as quickly as it there. Many millions of moments within every moment... I did my best to save a few of them.

Shutter Speed
In order to demonstrate my understanding of shutter speed, I'm posting two photos.
To get the blurred effect on the waterfall, I lowered my shutter speed to 1/6th of a second, and adjusted my aperture accordingly.
To be able to shoot the stone wall from the car, moving approximately 60mph, I obviously had a relatively fast shutter speed; between 1/250th and 1/500th of a second.

Learning...
In my attempt to learn something new about photography, and aperture specifically, via the sapient and all-knowing Wikipedia, I have discovered some interesting things.
1. Though they are pertaining to the exact same thing, the aperture stop is not the "f-stop". We define and list the aperture according to f-stops, but the f-stop is not the actual aperture. Wow.
2. Some worthwhile terminology. In relation to focus, the aperture determines the cone-angle of a bundle of light rays, which in turn determines how collimated the rays are. Highly collimated rays will result in a sharpness of focus at the image plane, wheres as uncollimated result in sharpness of focus at specific focal length only. In summation, I learned what the aperture does in specific terms, in relation to focus.
3. Lastly, aperture refers to the diameter of the opening, not just the opening itself. Hmm...

First Blog...
Okay... Now that I've managed to follow most of the rules as to the setup of this photo blog, I am posting some random drivel for your viewing and reading pleasure, or lack thereof.
Some images of fall...
More later,
