If this picture looks overexposed, it is. And if the grass blades look blurred, they are. The difference is, I wanted to achieve the blurred effect but with the compact camera I had at hand, I couldn't stop down the aperture enough to expose the photo correctly with the longer shutter speed I needed for capturing movement. So, in effect, this photo is a compromise and not a very successful one. In order to achieve the desired effect, I should have come to the meadow later in the afternoon with my DSLR and adjust the settings manually. Oh well, maybe next time...
