Photography

The other day I was fooling around with Mrs Rose Camera and she showed me a online digital photography course for me to take a look at. I read the first few lines and realized it was pretty interesting, so I decided to take more of an interest in it.The first thing they teach everyone studying photography is to take your camera off of auto mode, and putting it into manual mode. Manual mode (M) allows you to control all the effects that the auto mode uses, but in the extent to which you feel comfortable. So far I have learned how to adjust your ISO which controls how much light is used in your photograph. For example if you were taking a picture outside in the sun you would set your ISO sensitivity at something like 200. If you were to take the same picture but when its cloudy you would turn the sensitivity up to around 400-800, to get the same exposure as a picture taken in direct sunlight. I also learned many different camera filters, and how to crop the photos on the camera itself. I will keep working on the website and with the camera and hopefully post a few good pictures this weekend.

First Series Peice

For the longest time I've been working on my first Series art work and deciding what I'm going to make. First I found a tattoo design that I thought I would do with pointilism but I found it didn't really show any talent or colour blending, and that's what I wanted to work on. So I made a few dot density charts and then started my final peice. The one problem I faced when making this was showing my light source and shadow. The circle itself is good but I'm going to have to work on my light source more.
