Studio{us} Mommy

My first ever moon picture that actually turned out!

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!

First and foremost, this arrived today finally! We will be using it excusively in class and I didn’t have it at home but I do now!
