Off to Vegas... Here's a little "back to basics" camera lesson for you Feb 14th | filed in: Photography tips

It's Saturday afternoon, and I just finished my "mom's leaving" tradition.
Every time I leave town for a photo convention,
I get a card for everyone for every day.
(Thank goodness for those $1 cards at Papyrus and Target!)

Mat, Rory, and Jason each get a card each morning that I'm gone.
Today I had to write out 12 cards.
The kids think I do this just because I'm an awesome mom.
Fellow wives: In addition to trying to be an awesome mom,
do you know why I REALLY do this?? I bet you do!

Anyway, I saw all of the cards lined up on the counter,
and I thought it would be cool to use them for some little lessons on camera settings.

The full lesson is at myFUNcamera.com, so check it out if you're interested!

Check out these images where I changed the f/# on the camera:








You can see how the pictures get darker as that f/# gets higher, but you also get more into focus.

If you wanted the picture brighter with more in focus, you could raise the ISO or lower your shutter speed.

Enjoy this little "back to basics" lesson,
and have fun experimenting with your own camera and lenses!
See the entire lesson HERE.

Next up: ISO! Stay tuned!
