Shutter Speed Priority Post Assignment

     I enjoyed this assignment. I chose to take pictures at the dog park because it was a quick and easy way to get fast moving targets that flop around. I wish I could get a more diverse subject range but I only had so much light that day and I had work. When I went up there all the small dogs were being very lazy and I thought it was hopeless until one of my old friends who I used to play baseball with showed up. He brought his very energetic Pitbull, Rotweiler, and their puppy. Their older ones names were Buddy and Bella and he didn't tell me the baby's name. I believe the smaller dogs wanted attention once I started playing with the big dogs but none of them were running around so I was still focused on his dogs. There was a lot of bright light with very little shade. I decided it would be better to use a very high shutter speed with a higher ISO, this created a lot of bright "non-contrast" so to speak and I had to fix that in post by lowering the yellow setting closer to black when I turned them grayscale. I think if I redid this I'd find more subjects than just dogs.
