Go go, Elizabeth Warren


The shortest photography class you'll ever take

These two pics were taken with less than 50 seconds apart, by the same photographer using the same camera, with the same lens, in the same location. The subject matter is also the same: fake bird with real bird.

It's easy to see which is the better shot.
All it took was a changed f-stop (and consequently changed shutter speed) and and a few steps closer.

(f/16, ISO 400, 1/60)
(f/2 ISO 400, 1/13000)

Every day thought reading the news

I CAN*T KEEP UP WITH THE ESCALATING INSANITY

ps. I SALUTE YOU FOREVER AND EVER ELIZABETH WARREN
