9/11 photos

[Doc Wattson]

Looking for photos I've taken I've realized how many I have lost through the years. Here are some I took the week after 9/11. I lived just over a mile from the WTC on Sept 11th. I could feel the buildings fall before it happened on TV. Google map my old address, 38 garden place, brooklyn, ny, if you want to see were I lived.

niec shots doc.

the "Stupid auto focus" shots arent cause of the auto focus. That is bcuase of the shutter speed. the digital camera likely had a slow shutter speed ( less than 1/60th of asecond).

i cant steady out anythng less than 1/60th usually.
my wife on teh other hand, can steady out to 1/30th and has steadied out to 1/10th. bascially what happens is the shutter is open so long to let light in, the photo becomes blurred by movement.

:)

since it was a night shot, the lighting was low. best bet is to lock the shutter speed at 1/60th or 1/30th, and push the F stop as wide open as possible. -- or use a tripod.

nice shots thou!!! :)

if you have Q's on what i said let me know, i can explain it better probably. i get into photography ;P
