Photobook: Lessons in Camera

Howdy, y'all!

I am currently working my little self through a photobook. Want to have some input in what you can find in it? Here are some examples of my work; stay tuned for camera tips and tricks! Post a comment on which are your favorites!

The Eye of the Beholder: A Sardonic Look at Beauty (it's a beauty college. Join in the chuckles)

And There They Would Rest (My own view of what houses in fairy tales must look like!)

Where is Tumnus? ( If it is still snowing, the white witch has to be around somewhere.)

Slow Spring (I have been in a frozen wasteland much too long for my comfort.)

The Golden Door (full of promise and mystery... right?)

Now for those of you that stuck around, here is a camera trick that you should have under your belt. For those that have their trusty point-and-shoot camera, its fine! That is what I use too! Have you ever wondered about some of those settings though? You invested in the camera, but you feel as though you dont know how to use it? Well, good! Let's discuss one VERY important camera trick.

Shutter Speed. This will let you tell the camera how much light to let in. If you set it to a small number, make sure there is LOW light, otherwise you will blow out the image with light. This low shutter speed will blur any motion, so you might want to rest your camera on something or tripod it. The higher number is for BRIGHT light and freeze motion. This way you can catch that drop before it falls from the flower or your baby as it twirls outside, laughing.

Love, y'all!
