I was asked the other day what the shutter speed was and I had to look it up as I had no idea. I shot this at 1/1000 of a second. This required a higher ISO of course which some try to avoid due to noise issues. I would rather make sure I get the shot than have a blurry one, besides, high ISO isn’t really what causes noise, poor exposure does. Today’s noise removal software works very well nowadays anyway. This particular shot required nothing in the way of noise removal.

This image was chosen in a club competition as first place in November. I’m proud of this accomplishment because Nature isn’t my strong suit. At the end of the year, the photo also was judged as “Photo Of The Year” as well.
