Our Apprentice says…

We were now on the beach and Jen was getting ready to go in the water. She put half her wetsuit on and started to stretch and move around to warm up. I wanted to shoot this process to capture the atmosphere on the beach before the surfers get wet. However, my photos were coming out slightly blurry. Anthony saw that my shutter speed wasn’t fast enough. He took a meter reading and recommended I use a wide aperture of f/2 to give me a fast shutter speed of 1/3200 sec to freeze the action. Here Jen was midstretch, and quickly folded down into a leg stretch soon after I took this shot. Anthony also held a flashgun camera-left to provide a little fill flash, in Auto FP mode to keep the fast shutter speed.
