Dialogue

A: Ô Tamara, olha essa foto do beija-flor que acabei de tirar.

B: Nossa, olha pra essas asas. Você tá ficando muito bom em tirar fotos da natureza.

A: Sabe, tô começando a entender as configurações corretas e como usar essa lente.

B: Qual é a velocidade do obturador que você usava para congelar as asas do beija-flor?

A: Um milésimo de segundo, e também ampliei um pouco para 500 mm.

B: Muito legal esse teu passatempo, né?

A: Sem dúvida, tem sido uma curva de aprendizado divertida.

B: Pelo jeito tá valendo a pena: essas fotos são incríveis.

A: Hey Tamara, check out this hummingbird picture I just got.

B: Wow, look at those wings. You’re really getting good at getting into nature shots.

A: You know, I’m starting to catch on to the correct settings, and how to use this lens.

B: What shutter speed do you need to freeze the hummingbird’s wings?

A: 1/1000th of a second, and I zoomed in quite a bit too, 500mm.

B: Pretty cool hobby you’re into there, you know?

A: No doubt, it’s been a fun learning curve.

B: Well it’s paying off: these shots are amazing.
