Post 4: ISO, AV, Shutter Speed

I have had my camera for several years, but there are parts to it that I have not yet mastered. I have read manuals and such to get a good understanding of ISO, AV and Shutter Speed and have worked with them and had understood them as individual settings, but this week, I learned how they all work together. I was very happy with the results

(Right) Here, I lengthened the shutter speed and had to decrease the ISO. By extending the time the shutter is open, it will let in more light. Adjusting the ISO to let in less light balances this technique.

(Right) I adjusted the aperture to focus very close up, blurring the background behind the flowers. I also had to adjust the ISO to let in light because I was in the shade and the sun was setting too. It was the last good minute for photography for the day.
