Understanding the Principles of the Triangle

As discussed in earlier blogs, Photography is the act of capturing light.  Depending on if you are using a film camera or a digital on will depend on where that light is captured either film or a digital sensor usually.  There are some alternative methods which we will discuss later in other blogs of capturing light.  The Exposure Triangle is the building blocks on how that light is captured and what the light does on the final...

How many times have you scrolled through your feed and not once stopped  because nothing caught your eye, then that something did.  You know what I mean, that image grabbed your brain and said, "LOOK AT ME!!!" You then complied and looked.  What probably caused you to stop scrolling was the composition of the image.  It spoke to you and conveyed an interest that you wanted to explore more.  Everyone is drawn to different styles but they all are pleasing...

Where will you find your light?

In follow up from the the last blog post, http://plzdophotos.village.photos/articles/316/So-You-Have-A-Camera---Now-What-  Now you must search for where you will find your light or simply your next photography.  Where will you find your inspiration?  What will you inspire you?  Every person is different and with that inspiration will come from different places.

Here is a suggestion...one that anyone can try.

1. Go to a museum. 

   ...

Yes, you realize you have a camera.  

It could be the camera that is with your smart phone, be it an iPhone or an Android, either way there is a camera attached to it.  You could of decided you wanted more than a phone camera and progressed to a digital point and shoot, a DSLR (Digital Single Reflex Lens) camera, mirrorless or just wanted to go old school with a film camera. You may of even discovered that camera that has been collecting dust in the closet and deicided it...

 It was a great day!  Weather predicted rain in the morning so prayers were sent up to have a little overcast but no showers!  That worked but the temperatures were on the chilly side,so we worked fast to get the children back in the warmth of their cars and homes.  Luckily we were able to get out of there before it began to rain, snow and sleet.

Things that I have learned doing my first Mini Session....

Let me count the things.....

1. Advertise to the most unexpected...

Tomorrow will soon be upon me and finally the Easter Mini Session will be here!  Super excited to get this session in the books!

There may be some showers coming our way but that won't keep us from making it happen!  

Can't wait to share some of the photos! 

As I am a continuing education kind of girl and currently taking photography classes at our local community college, I find myself faced with a variety of projects.  Some are straight forward, but then there are those projects that make you step out of your comfort zone and reach inside yourself to see what it is you really want to tell.  One of this week's project is color and using auto braketing for lighting.  Thought is you have to take an image that would not work in...

Recently went on an adventure to a produce place near my home.  I found the colors enticing and begging to be photographed.  

Along the path I encountered my stalker, the Rooster.  He teased me with his strutting and brilliant colors.  

What a wonderful day, think I will have to go visit again

I have a school assignment to produce "Selfies".  In today's age, that should be simple, but for me, it is not.  To produce a self portrait is a difficult task for me.  Is it just an image of one's self? Or should the image, truly tell something about yourself?  Those are questions I battle with myself on each time I am asked to work on a self portrait and strangely as an art student, you are asked to do this in almost every ART class.
