This Week in Class

January 22, 2010 By Candy

Thursday’s here are my photography class day. Today we learned about what F-Stops are, what an SLR really is, and some lens information. Next week we are working on metering and checking the camera settings.

So here is my instructor, Art Hanson, he’s been at it for 20 years!

This I believe was taken on Auto but no flash. I spent some time with my camera jacking up the ISO as high as I could and opening that lens so I could get something besides a completely black photo. I came the the realization that the lighting sucks. BUT I FINALLY got a photo of something!

Now its obviously under exposed but hey, I am still learning! And neither of these are assignments but I wanted to share. Speaking of sharing, when I got home from class there was a large box waiting. It turned out to be a review item! Be on the lookout for the review of this on Serendipity Mommy in about 2 weeks!

Those were both shot manually but I put on my warm and fuzzy flash because I will never get any light in this living area!

My Class TextBook

January 11, 2010 By Candy

I thought for sure that I would be buying Understanding Exposure but for this class I was told to buy

A Short Course in Digital Photography by Barbara London and Jim Stone

Now I am still on chapter one but I love this book because it had really detailed pictures of the stuff they are talking about and full color illustrations. I think its much more user friendly than Understanding Exposure. There is also a suggested book for Adobe Lightroom but since I don’t have that program its kind of useless to buy it. I do know that I have to get a grey card and some special photo paper for class. The first class is more of an intro and to get used to the curriculum so that’s good. I still have to learn the ins and outs of my new d90!
