Yarn in a Bowl: Shutter Speeds

http://yarninabowl.blogspot.com/2007/10/shutter-speeds.html

Yarn in a Bowl. As I learn to take better pictures of YiaB. Tuesday, 23 October 2007. I took the camera out on my way to work this morning to have a play with shutter speeds - it was so much fun! At first I had no idea - thank goodness for unlimited digital 'film' - and got lots of blurry bits where I hadn't intended them. But in a while I started getting the hang of it all. I set the camera to 'S' (for shutter) and let the F-stop take care of itself. I haven't got my head quite around it all yet ;-).

Yarn in a Bowl: October 2007

http://yarninabowl.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Yarn in a Bowl. As I learn to take better pictures of YiaB. Thursday, 25 October 2007. Night shooting was the final part of the shutter speeds exploration - I don't think I'm going to get to doing water as I really need to get on to week four. Last night I got to the bus stop quite late after work and looked up the river to the most awesome light display. I hung around for about 15 mins experimenting with different ISOs, apertures and shutter speeds. Tuesday, 23 October 2007. Continuing my commute, I got...

T189: Week 5

http://t189.blogspot.com/2007/11/week-5.html

Wednesday, 7 November 2007. Ok this week I had loads of opportunities for practice as we were on an Autumn break in Dartmouth. No work, no housework, no school run, not even the distraction of FC as the internet connection was so dodgy; just ample opportunity for relaxing and practising my photography. So practice I did. This week was all about colour and learning to use it as a tool in our photographs. The assignments read:. Seaside areas are generally quite good for colour.especially that lovely wa...

Yarn in a Bowl: Stops

http://yarninabowl.blogspot.com/2007/10/stops.html

Yarn in a Bowl. As I learn to take better pictures of YiaB. Thursday, 18 October 2007. This week it's all about the light. F-stops, apertures, ISO, under-exposure, over-exposure. I have learned: When the F-stop goes down the aperture goes up - and vice versa. And if you change the ISO you go back to the beginning and figure out the maths again. I need to read it all again I think. Here's a photo I'm rather proud of as I've finally figured out how to shorten the depth of field for artistic blurriness :-).

T189: Week 6

http://t189.blogspot.com/2007/11/week-6.html

Friday, 16 November 2007. Lots about printing and of course this week our printer decides to catch a cold and die! So I've read the theory but not really got much further.still there's time once the CMA is out of the way. The assignment, fortunately, was a printer-free zone. Asleep in the Firelight. Father and Son 2. Taken on a train. The chaps were having a cuddly moment so I fired off some shots. This was the only useable one but I'm happy with that.one good one is all you need. This was highly experin...

T189: Fireworks!

http://t189.blogspot.com/2007/11/fireworks.html

Friday, 16 November 2007. Boy was I dying to take photos of fireworks this year. I've tried loads of times and never succeeded. This year I was prepared. So with my tripod set up and my piece of balck card.carefully cut to be just larger than my lens I was poised. These photos have not been enhanced in Photoshop at all. I will clone out the bottom in the bottom right when I get time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Yarn in a Bowl Blog Spot. Paloma C's Photo Blog. Been Away and Week 4.

Yarn in a Bowl: Done! Well, almost...

http://yarninabowl.blogspot.com/2007/10/done-well-almost.html

Yarn in a Bowl. As I learn to take better pictures of YiaB. Sunday, 7 October 2007. I got through most of the week one assignments. It's proving pretty tricky squeezing it all in around everything else, but they did warn us how big the workload would be - so no complaints. Here's a few of the photos I took for the alphabet shoot:. And the obligatory Flower Close-Up:. Those are some really clever photos! I would never have thought of them. 12 October 2007 at 06:36.

Yarn in a Bowl: Oxford - visit in pictures

http://yarninabowl.blogspot.com/2007/11/oxford-visit-in-pictures.html

Yarn in a Bowl. As I learn to take better pictures of YiaB. Friday, 9 November 2007. Oxford - visit in pictures. We headed down to Oxford for a short break on the weekend, bit of a rush squeezed in between other things but we both needed to just chill out, if only for a couple of days. It was dark when we arrived on Saturday and Sunday dawned foggy and dull. But by midday it was bright and clear and there was some great contrast shots to be had. Labels: out and about. The leaf shot is great! Funily enoug...
