Try out different settings on your camera and see what you get!

I keep my camera with me so I can get more shots if I have the opportunity.  I am taking a photography class and learning to use more of the settings on my camera.  Recently, I was in downtown Kansas City, Missouri and had the opportunity to take this photo.

I got a new camera for Mother's Day and am taking a photography class to learn to use more of the features of my camera and to improve my photography skills.  I took this photo with my wide angle lens, flash turned off, 800 ISO while standing in a building on the 10th floor.  You get a different perspective of the buildings when you aren't on the ground. :-)

I took this photo at the zoo through the glass using 400 ISO and the action shot setting. 

I found this tortoise as I was driving in Kansas City.  He was in a church yard.  My neice spotted it as we were driving by and thought it needed to be rescued.  As you can see, he(?) looks like he is thriving were he is so we left him there. This photo was taken on the auto setting with 200 ISO.  He wasn't too happy that we were there so I got down on the ground and started shooting photos.  At this point, I was on my stomach so I was on his level.

My husband shot this one.  We pulled off the highway to get a good shot.  Minutes before, there had been a double rainbow.  This photo was taken at 100 ISO using the landscape setting.  All photos were shot using a wide-angle lens.

The nice thing about a digital camera is that you can take as many photos as you want and experiment.  A manageable way to learn how to use more of the features on your camera is to look at the manual and learn one thing at a time.   You'll find the things you learn will be helpful whether you are taking pictures for work or fun.  Good luck!
