The densely packed forest of sailboat masts of Shilshole Marina provide an interesting backdrop at Golden Gardens beach. Posted for the WPC with the theme of dense.

Short Walk on a Long Pier
This is one of the first photos I took with my new camera. I bought it at Kenmore Camera, which is very near Log Boom Park. I had to wait out an intense hail storm before leaving the store, and then was able to catch the dramatic clouds at the park before the initial small charge in the battery gave out.

Eat at ick’s?
A couple weeks ago I was amused to see that the light for the D was out in this sign, making one of the famous Seattle burger stands sound slightly less appetizing.
Posted for Cee’s B&W Challenge with the topic of the letters G or H. H is for hamburgers!
Photography for Beginners Part 3: Shutter Priority Mode
Each post in this series builds on information discussed in previous posts. See the Photography for Beginners page on the menu for links to all the posts.
Part 2: Auto Mode & Program Mode
.
In this post I’m going to discuss Shutter Priority Mode, usually designated by an S on your camera mode dial if it has one. (Tv, or time value, on Canon cameras.)
What is Shutter Priority Mode?
It’s called Shutter Priority Mode because you are making the shutter speed your priority in how you expose the image. In Shutter Priority Mode you control the shutter speed and allow the camera to automatically choose the correct aperture to go with it.
