Margaret: This photo of a passing cargo train was taken from a passenger train from Vancouver to Toronto (could be somewhere in Saskatchewan!) Looking at the settings the only way I could shorten the time of exposure would be by increasing ISO to maximum.
Q. Was there any other way to get either foreground or background in focus?

COMMENTS
Margaret: The Shutter Priority assignment got me motivated to try to shoot dripping water. It was a challenge. I took many photos in different settings and used continuous shooting trying to capture the drop at the right moment.

COMMENTS
Margaret: This was taken using a different bowl. It gave an interesting orange-like effect with reflections. This time I tried auto focus. It was a hit-and-miss experience.

COMMENTS
Margaret: This shot would be interesting if it was in focus.

Margaret: Yet another dish. This time a series of three consecutive drops.
Q. Did you ever try to photograph dripping water? I started to think that an indoor setup with a proper drip, lights, tripod and a macro lens would give better results. Any advice how to set it up?

COMMENTS
Margaret: 1 second exposure hence blurred image.
Q. Does this idea work as a photo or is it just a bad photo?

COMMENTS
Margaret: Similar effect to the above - long exposure, little light. And surprisingly Portrait setting - probably it was too dark to see the controls! Does it get the atmosphere?

COMMENTS
Margaret: I really liked the Monterey Bay aquarium. It was very well designed. I have included this picture as an example of framing.

COMMENTS
Margaret: Another example of framing - classical doorway. Settings unknown, recently scanned from a slide.
