Sunshine Alterations in our neighborhood taken for digital photography class |
I took Charles Badland's digital photography class at LeMoyne Gallery so I can photograph my art and enter shows. I learned a few more basic lessons as well:
- A good camera takes better pictures.
- Take my camera everywhere.
- Take extra batteries too.
- Read the manual.
- Take lots of photos.
- All those aperture and speed options make sense if I spend time using them.
- Photos make me see.
I still need practice photographing my art. Here are two sites that will help:
Shoot that quilt
Artcall for entries. Tells how to resize photos using Photoshop and has basic photo guidelines from Maria Elkins
I want to help Mary, who makes window treatments. Her photos tend to emphasize the bright window more than the lovely drapes. When I see her we'll explore:
HDR
High Dynamic Range -- a setting that takes three photos of the same subject, then combines the results into a single photo with the best light balance. Badland said he thinks the newest iPhones have this option.
