Adrienne - thank you SO much for the really concise description of what f-stop, ISO, and shutter speed settings really mean when it comes to the photos you take! That description plus your photo examples really helped clarify a few things I'd been wondering about!

Not a problem, they can be hard to understand and even harder to explain in simple terms. I hope that helps! I can't imagine shooting auto anymore, I can never get want I want and I find manual fun.

I'm going to have to read this thread, play with my camera, read this thread, play with my camera etc to really "get" what you are showing me. I'm such a noob
 I don't suppose there are any good online classes anyone would recommend? Something to keep me on track and challenge me and help me as I go? I really would like to be a better photographer...

Thanks Adrienne
.I have a hard time getting consistently good photos. If the lighting is just so, and the right color dog, and the right position..I might get a good shot. But action photos...not much. Skye..not much. Like this...  f/5.6 1/2000 ISO 800 Even in manual, I can't lower the f stop much more than that, if I want to keep the high shutter speed?

Lower f stop means more light let in so the shutter speed can go higher. That's why I love my 50mm 1.8 because I can if need be use a really low f stop and get the shutter speed really high.
Usually I keep my f stop around f/2.8-f/3.5.

Also, white dogs are super hard. I have not mastered it especially since Kaylee hates the camera. When I was out with Nina and she had Kela I had a lot of bad pictures. But some came out decent. Still over exposed in parts, the white fur with the black face seriously was messing me up.
1/1600 ƒ/3.2 ISO 200  As I'm looking through my pictures I'm noticing my best action shots seem to be using f/3.2. Hmmm, something to keep in mind.

Is your auto focus on? The grass to the lower right of Skye is in focus, meaning you just missed your mark. Also, shooting a white dog is very hard, I have more difficulty with Shamoo than my red heads. I would lower the exposure, her coat is over exposed. Also, is that in the harsh afternoon sun?
The photo could do well with f/5.6 if it was focused properly but I would lower my exposure, lessen the light by dropping the ISO or shutter speed.
