Monday Morning Tip – 7/06/09
by Lee on Jul.03, 2009, under Monday Morning Tips
OK, so it isn’t yet Monday but this MMT is time-sensitive.
If you plan to take photos of fireworks this weekend, here are some tips. This MMT is available to all visitors but, if you want to read others, you’ll have to register for a log-in password.
Happy 4th of July to all. Take a moment to reflect on the price of this holiday and I don’t mean the bellyache from overeating!
Monday Morning Tip for July 6, 2009 – Photographing Fireworks
San Diego Fair
If you plan to attend the fair this weekend, stop by the Photography exhibition. See if you can deconstruct the photos and understand what the photographer did to get each shot. For example, did he/she use a deep or shallow DoF? What was the shutter speed and why? Try to guess the ISO and metering mode.
If you see my photos and correctly guess aperture, shutter speed and ISO, I’ll send you a free copy of Scrapbook MAX!, a really cool scrapbook program. Send your guess via email by Monday evening. For that matter, if you correctly guess 2 of the three Exposure Triad variables, I’ll send you the CD.
