Sardine Can

1/30 sec ~ f/7 ~ iso 800

As an amateur photographer and still learning, this is another example of picture which really test my knowledge. I say this because I have to shoot a group of construction workers on the boat under low light condition approaching the vessel I am working on. The sea state during this picture was taken was slight with slightly rolling sideways due to the effect from propeller wash cause by the boat. 

I tried few shot with different aperture and in Manual mode. Instead of using Manual mode, I should use have used Aperture Priority (Av) mode because I can easily control the aperture while the shutter speed will be took over by camera. But, in my personal opinion, in photography there is no right or wrong in taking pictures. Different people have different thinking about technique, composition, aperture to use, mode to use and so on. Simply follow the rules. 

For me, this picture is not bad and "ok" for me. I can still see the story behind this picture and I hope the message behind this picture will clearly see by all the readers.
