Taken with my Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
, in Aperture Priority Mode set at F/5.6 at 43mm using ISO 100. With my Aperture set at F/5.6, the camera automatically set the Shutter Speed to 1/13 of a second, which cause this spinning colorful windmills to look blurry. A slow shutter speed are selected to show the motion or movement in a still photograph of a moving subject, while a fast shutter speed can cause a moving subject to appear frozen.
Also with the help of image stabilization i was able to use take this photo even at a slow shutter speed of 1/13.

Here are two photos I found on my Lightroom Library, featuring some of the Great Landmarks in Washington DC specifically The Mall. Both photos were taken on April 26, 2009. Allow me to briefly tell you something about The Mall, it refers to the area between the Lincoln Memorial and The Capitol, with the Washington Monument and World War II Memorial on the center. The National Mall or The Mall receives approximately 24 million visitors each year.
Going back on the photos the first one on the left you can see three Monuments, the World War II Memorial on the foregound, The Washington Monument also known by DC residents as the Pencil and on the very end is the Dome of The Capitol.

Here is a great book by David duChemin. I just got mine a few days ago and after reading just the first few pages I can tell that this book can really change my vision on how I approach my photography. It’s not a book that discusses technical aspect of photography, this one focusses on inspiration, it digs deep into your inner soul so you can have a better vision. Well, that’s just me. if you are looking for a book that will teach you the basics of photography like aperture or shutter speeds, this is not the book for you.
