Week one - Aperture Homework

Photobucket
Story telling aperture  -  ISO 200, Aperture f/16, shutter speed 1/30
I feel like most of my pictures are hazy, not really blurry, but not super crisp and vibrant.  I'm assuming it has more to do with the quality of my camera and lens than anything else but if you have any tips for getting vibrant, crisp pictures I would love to here it.
Photobucket
Who cares aperture  -  ISO 100, Aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/100  
Subject was directly against background and didn't need to be pulled away from it, so I used the mid range f stop value.

Photobucket
Singular theme aperture  -  ISO 100, Aperture f/2.5, shutter speed 1/100-standing farther away from subject

Photobucket
ISO 100, Aperture f/2.5, shutter speed 1/100-standing closer to subject

Both pictures directly above are ISO 100, aperture f/2.5, shutter speed 1/400
I was using singular theme but focusing on 2 different parts of the image.


Bonus Technical Exercise
Photobucket
Story telling - ISO 400, Aperture f/18, Shutter speed 1/25 (A little blurry all around because I had to bring the shutter speed all the way down.  I should have bumped up the ISO a little more instead, is that what you would have done?)
Photobucket
Who Cares - ISO 200, Aperture f/8, Shutter speed 1/60
Photobucket
Singular theme - ISO 100, Apterture f/3.5, Shutter speed 1/125


Other bonus images
Photobucket
Trying out the sunburst that Brooke talked about...pretty fun!  Are the two spots in the picture because my lens might have been dirty or does the lens just reflect in situations like this in general?

And just another singular theme aperture I took advantage of while visiting my grandparent's gravesite on memorial day.
