Shutter Speed

I decided to play around with my camera a little more. I haven't really adventured is adjusting the shutter speed. I wanted to capture some cool full moon pictures. I took all these photos between 9:15 and 10:00 pm last night. They have not been photoshopped--I do not have a program yet--these are straight from my camera.

This was taken on a "normal setting". It shows how dark it was while I was shooting.



This was taken with an ISO of 1600, shutter speed of 30 seconds, and at F10 (I think)


This next one, was a few minutes later, but at around F16. (sorry camera battery is charging right now, so I can't look at the setting I took these at)

I think the orange glow is from my street light, which is behind me, and it has an orange tint.


Then, I heard the sound of a train coming down the tracks. I hurried back, more towards the center of my cul-de-sac and took the picture. I didn't know that it was an AMTRACK train, or I would have set my shutter speed to around 15 or 20 seconds. AMTRACK trains are shorter and quicker than good old Union Pacific.


I still think that it turned out cool. I have no idea how I managed to capture to AMTRAK emblem and the #24.
