Common Photo Mistakes: underexposed, overexposed, camera motion blur, out of focus.

Mistakes Assignment - Common Photo Mistakes: underexposed, overexposed, back focused, camera motion blur, subject motion blur, out of focus. Shoot photos that are examples of 4 out of these 6 mistakes. Upload to your blog and label each one with the mistake you made and how you would avoid it next time. Due Date: 1/31

Underexposed
Camera: Canon PowerShot SX130 IS

For these first 2 pictures I would adjust either my shutter speed or f-stop/aperture to avoid these mistakes in the future.

To fix this mistake I could either use a tripod or set my shutter speed after I found out which speed is my comfortable setting to reduce my natural shake.

To adjust for this I would use the auto focus setting on my camera. I could also change my resolution settings.
