Shutter Speed Assignment

Assignment from April's class was Using Your Shutter Speed to show or freeze motion. I wanted a minimum of 2 shots with the first being that of a slow shutter speed (at least 1/30 if not slower, play around) of a moving object within still life (water fall's are usually ideal but there are definitely other types of shots). The second shot I want you to freeze motion - again water is a great subject but really anything with motion can work (shutter will need to be very fast, at least 1/500 if not faster). Make sure your meter reading stays in the middle (close to 0 as possible) and you'll need to use a tripod or have your camera on a solid surface to ensure minimal to no movement when you press the shutter release button.
