The shutter speed assignment was an exciting shoot. It was separated into two parts focusing on the shutter speed of a spinning umbrella and panning a moving object to a still background. My challenge with this shoot was figuring out if I was taking the picture correctly. I had a relatively easy time understanding the mechanics of the camera and how to adjust my f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO. It took me a while to understand that as I went up in shutter speed, the wrinkles in the camera started to show. This happened because the shutter speed was freezing time on the umbrella. Panning was tricky for me. I did not understand the concept at first. When I understood the concept, having the moving object clear and everything else blurry was challenging. I assume that I should have taken the picture correctly. 

The rewarding part of this assignment was feeling comfortable with the camera and being able to critique my pictures to make them presentable.
