I think. . .

The other night I called this  guy and said,

“Would you PLEASE meet me at the best Nana’s house for some photos around 7 tonight? ” “You can bring anything you want – just come and play with me. ” 

He brought three things: His little brother, shields and swords.

 Once I got the shutter speed thing down, I couldn’t believe how much fun doing these shots were. 

The assignment this week is to get shots during the golden hour. 

 I love  everything about these photos: the colors , the settings, the swords, the boys . . . the golden hour.  I just love everything. 

AND 

I think these guys had fun.  I think they might play with me again sometime.

Little by Little / Ready to Waltz Party

Figuring things out. . .

Last week was a tough week for me when it comes to photography.   Remember, I told you I am taking this photography class.  

Well,

the assignment last week was anything  motion.  

 Sounds simple right?

Wrong!

I didn’t understand how to not only bump up my shutter speed . . . I didn’t know what shutter speed really meant.  I mean,  I understood shutter speed was the thing that opened and closed the lens but,  I couldn’t figure out how to get my camera there.  

I didn’t understand the exposure triangle and how together,  the Aperture, Shutter, and ISO balance each other out so the meter reads “0” or Even. 

It’s hard stuff! 

I really felt like I was underwater the whole week. 

I couldn’t focus on anything else but getting this exposure triangle thing down. When I finally came up for air –  teacher Lisa said ” Your focus is off here. ”  

Ugh! 

Since I’m persistent and a really strong swimmer:  I kept on working it, and you know what?

 . . . I got it!  

I’ll show you some of those photos tomorrow. Now I have to  do the laundry, and let’s not talk about the dishes in the sink that have been piling up all week.
