after I showed bugaboo around my old High School, we went tromping up to the local mountains and took some pictures in Ice House Canyon.

I spent the majority of my time playing with shutter speeds and water. I am not that steady and a mono-pod is next on my 'to buy' list. It was a lot of fun to take pictures with someone else (especially since we both have the same camera and the lens we were using was comparable: 70-300) and seeing the difference in results due to style.

slow shutter speed 1/125 second, ISO 400, AV 4.5
fast  shutter speed 1/15 second, ISO 100, AV 5.0
slow1 shutter speed 1/500 second, ISO 400, AV 5.6
faster1  shutter speed 1/15 second, ISO 100, AV 8.0

My favorite Shutter speed 1/4 second, ISO 400, AV 8.0

While I regaled bugaboo with local history, she helped me learn how to take better pictures. Part by example (very patient) and part by experimenting with me.
