Do you understand exposure?

Well, DO YOU? Apparently Bryan Peterson thinks he does, because he wrote a book about it. In my desperate attempt to actually maintain a HOBBY, I have signed up for a photography class at the Indianapolis Art Center. I figured, what's the sense in having an expensive digital camera, if I only know how to shoot in the "auto" mode. Here is my homework for the week...experimenting with aperture and shutter speed:

The subject was a single night light. Since the shutter was open for almost 20 seconds, I moved the camera to the right and then to the left and it recorded 3 images
aperture:20 shutter speed:19sec


Way over-exposed, but very cool looking
aperture:3.5 shutter speed:1sec


aperture:5 shutter speed:1sec


aperture:13 shutter speed:1sec
