 A: Hey Tamara, check out this hummingbird picture I just got.
Ô Tamara, olha essa foto do beija-flor que acabei de tirar.
  B: Wow, look at those wings. You’re really getting good at getting into nature shots.
Nossa, olha pra essas asas. Você tá ficando muito bom em tirar fotos da natureza.
  A: You know, I’m starting to catch on to the correct settings, and how to use this lens.
Sabe, tô começando a entender as configurações corretas e como usar essa lente.
  B: What shutter speed do you need to freeze the hummingbird’s wings?
Qual é a velocidade do obturador que você usava para congelar as asas do beija-flor?
  A: 1/1000th of a second, and I zoomed in quite a bit too, 500mm.
Um milésimo de segundo, e também ampliei um pouco para 500 mm.
  B: Pretty cool hobby you’re into there, you know?
Muito legal esse teu passatempo, né?
  A: No doubt, it’s been a fun learning curve.
Sem dúvida, tem sido uma curva de aprendizado divertida.
  B: Well it’s paying off: these shots are amazing.
Pelo jeito tá valendo a pena: essas fotos são incríveis.
