This week at the photoblog of HarryNowell.com we hope to share:

• news and views of my work at Ottawa Int’l Jazz fest
• a report on a stunning person’s camera ability
• new info on copyright
• a student photo
• a review of my stock goals
• and today… the answer and winner of the last week’s photoblog quiz and contest

Last week I showed this photo and asked:

What was the shutter speed used to capture the motion of the swing photo?
What was the approximate aperture?
Where was the camera?

The Answer: I shot this with a slow shutter to get the blur – 15th second and a small aperture – f16 or f22. I used a fixed focal 15mm on a film rangefinder camera – no zoom. Camera was held in my right hand – just plain motion blur.

Curious to learn more? Consider my Creative Fundamentals Photo course in September in Gatineau Park.

The Prize Winner: Al G. of Ottawa was the first to correctly provide a good answer. Congratulations Al! He chose this ChelseaGallery.ca photo prize:

More tomorrow…
