Of course if you were on the shorter end of that (75mm) you could use a shutter speed of about 1/80th of a second or so.
You could also have simply used a tripod but it sounds like this was a "found shot" so you may not have had your tripod handy. |
Thank you for your comments. I am learning a lot here at DPC and appreciate all the comments I can get. This particular photo was taken from inside the car, and it was running. It was raining pretty good and I didn't want to get my camera wet. I should have changed my settings. Thank you again! Jerry

I like the shot too. Those darn cows, how can they even think of eating during a photo shoot? :0
Looks like you might have been trying to handhold the camera and at 1/2 a second, it is not possible. I tend to like movement in a shot as long as some part of the photo is in clear focus. |
