So one of my friends in my Nature Photography class does not understand what exactly the aperture does to a picture (neither did I until my photo class this fall.) The aperture (f-stop) controls the size of the opening of the lens. And it effects the depth of the field that appears in the picture.

Statues

So I love taking pictures of statues of people. The truthful reason is that sometimes I find it awkward to take pictures of people. I don’t like to force people into positions because I don’t really know what I want them to do until they are in it. Its like if I enter onto a [...]
Nature Photography #2: Hand-Rolled Film
Posted in Nature Photography, photography, tagged Learning, photography on April 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If there has been anything I have learned this week in the class is that I don’t like hand-rolled film and my camera HATES is.

So there are two things I can do on my own in terms of creating my own final project, create a black and white print from undeveloped film (i.e. develop the film and print the picture) and as of yesterday and I can develop color slides. So my hands turned orange in the process but [...]

So at my school we end with a five week term called Short Term. You only take one class….I am taking a photography class. I love photography and I would have to say taking pictures of nature is probably my best subject. (I don’t really like telling people where to go and how to stand [...]
