Free Shoot

During thanksgiving break, my class was given the assignment of doing a free shoot on Manual, playing around with SS, ISO, and aperture to achieve the desired exposure.

 
This is the trunk of our once-vertical Norway Pine. It has a really interesting texture.

Sap droplets that formed on the ripped edge of one of the limbs from our White Pines. (This picture and the following three were cropped a bit so that you can see the textures better. My lens wouldn't let me get close enough, so I did the cropping on the computer instead of in my head ;) ) 

 
The sun was getting low in the sky, and the way it hit these sap droplets, it turned them all into mini rainbows. This picture doesn't do the scene justice, but it's still pretty.

Back lit sap. This was so much fun to photograph :).

This is a bad picture, but I like how the weak shaft of sunlight accentuates the area that I focused on.

 
We were singing after our Thanksgiving meal, and I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures. This one is (obviously) of the hymn book. It's underexposed, but was taken with my aperture as wide as possible, my ISO as high as possible, and my shutter open as long as I could keep it without getting camera shake :\. I think I'm going to play around with the book, lighting, and maybe a tripod to see if I can get better shots.
