Summer photo challenge

Welcome to my Lair

Summer photo challenge

This summer I am making going to attempt something that will improve camera skills. I will post a picture everyday for the summer. Now you might be thinking, anyone can do that and in fact your right, but I am going to go out of my way and make each picture worth looking at. And share what I learn through this experience.

Day 1: Shallow depth of field

This was a tricky picture to take. I have never tried this before so I had to take this many times. I Started off using a 18-55 mm lens with an f-stop of 5.6 and notice that I was getting a small depth of field but it was not small enough. After some research I found that I needed a bigger lens. So I took out my 75-300 mm lens and moved my camera back. Once I had my camera in position where I wanted it, I took the picture and notice another problem. All my pictures where coming back blurry. Come to find out that when I press the button down to take the picture I was slightly moving the camera. What I did to correct this was to set the camera on a 2 second timer. This way I could let go of the camera completely (yes it was on a tripod) to eliminate any shake with the camera.

This week:

Each day I will post a new picture and will begin to once again go through Motion. I know that if I really want to make my business shine I need to learn this program so I can give my customers anything they want. And I will have the green screen up this weekend too so I can start experimenting with that. It feels good being back.

P.S. If there is an art or stlye you want me to try leave a comment and I will attempt it.
