Hello, again, to the wonderful Cropped Stories readers. This is Jen from West Street Story, and I am back today with additional photography tips for you. If you remember my previous post, Photography Exposure Tips, I discussed ISO, one of the three settings you should consider for achieving proper exposure in your photographs, otherwise known as the photographic triangle.
Today, however, I will be providing you information on shutter speed.
Hello Cropped Stories readers! I am so excited to be here as a guest contributor. Keep an eye out for my posts here on Cropped Stories as I will be providing tips as a non-professional photographer trying to achieve professional looking photographs.
Today’s post is all about ISO. While I was in Hawaii, one of the tours I did was a photography expedition. I found a local photographer that offered these personal, one-on-one tours. I went into it thinking he was just going to take me around the island, and we would capture some pretty pictures. However, I gained SO MUCH more than just a few tropical photographs. He taught me things about my camera and photography that brought my picture taking skills to a whole new level. I will benefit from what I learned for the rest of my life!
And guess what? I am going to share some of the things that I learned with you!
Yesterday as I was riding in the car with my hubby we drove past a couple of farms. I was practically kicking myself for not having my camera with me to catch the cows grazing and the horses galloping. I don’t know what it is about the Summer months that makes me want to pick up my camera and take pictures of, well, almost everything. With my country music playing in the background and the air from the window blowing through my hair, I thought what better time to start compiling a list of the things I’d like to capture on camera this Summer. While some things I wanted to take pictures of came incredibly easy to me (like a hammock, horses, a canoe, the lake, etc.), I had to put in some effort to remember the small but wonderful things about Summer that are often taken for granted. Stuff like iced coffee, fruit salad, a grilled hot dog, the ice cream truck, a tire swing, etc. Once I started thinking smaller, it was hard to stop. The ideas kept coming and I realized that my once modest checklist was quickly becoming endless. Isn’t Summer the best?
