This is the most powerful picture to me because it shows the soldier praying that things will get better for him.  These images tell a story because they are in a sequence from before recruitment all the way to when he came home. It shows the daily things that he went through like trainings. The captions explain what is happening in each photo. Ian Fisher was 17 and he told his parents he was going to join the military. Shortly after he graduated he did just so.  He had two different types of going away parties before he left.

Unless you want to create motion blur. When the camera is in auto mode the camera picks the shutter speed. When it is in shutter speed priority you pick the shutter speed and it sets the ap...
