Practise with my camera

Hi,

We were at a Christening this weekend so I actually had a chance to practise with my camera.
These are a few of my favourite photos. With most of these I was focusing on getting a good composition and correct exposure.

Photography Course - Week 3 Light Painting

Hello,

Ok so week 3 was all about light painting. Honestly not many of my shots turned out great today. I was quite disappointed. I think I had set the camera up correctly but I was using the torch on my phone and it was lighting my object up to much to get any good shots.

These two turned out ok.

We uploaded some photos to photoshop to edit today. Unfortunately as most of my shots did not turn out great I struggled to edit mine together.

Well hopefully I will do better next week!

Photography Course - Week 2 Shutter Speed & Exposure Task

Hi,

So the second week of the course is here already!
I have had a little practise with the ISO from last week, mainly just taking photos of our daughter.

Today was all about shutter speed and getting the correct exposure. I have played with shutter speed before (usually using the shutter speed mode on the camera though) Most of the photographs I took were using a low shutter speed as the light conditions were not great for fast shutter.
Exposure was really interesting and something I have never changed (as I did not know how!) I am hoping now that in the future all of my photographs will be correctly exposed.
There are a lot of different aspects to remember when using the manual setting but I think I am getting there and I am very pleased with some of the results.

These are a few of my favourite shoots from this week.

This is my favourite of all the shots I took as I managed to capture all three colours on the traffic lights. This was taken using a shutter speed of 20 seconds, aperture of f20 and ISO of 100

I really enjoyed taking these and I am very happy with how they turned out. Looking forward to next weeks lesson.
