A year ago this week, I wrote the very first Tuesday Tidbit. Holy batman, Robin, it’s been a whole YEAR. And everyone knows what happens when someone has a blog anniversary……BLOG MONTAGE! (Cue fun montage music)
We started with the Rule of Thirds…and the Tuesday Tidbit was born. We talked about looking your best in photos, when giant photos ATTACK!, point and shoots vs SLRs, and the color wheel. We waxed philosophical on the power of empty space, amputated our subjects appropriately, and discussed the finer points of posing large groups. Man, we’ve had some good times.
A lot of you have been following this blog for awhile and are probably pretty darn skilled with your point and shoot camera. But lots of you have those new dangfangled fancy schmancy SLR cameras now and could use some help making those cameras do what they’re meant to do (which is go beyond a glorified point and shoot camera).
So this year is about depth. We’ll delve more into ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and shooting in (drum roll please) manual mode. We’ll talk about light and using your flash. We’ll talk about choosing lenses and changing lenses. I’ll do my darn tootin’ best to help you understand your camera and photography better, and I bet I’ll learn some things along the way too.
If you want to get a head start on your classmates, here’s some homework for you: some links from last year on ISO, aperture and shutter speed, and depth of field.
I’m excited for the next year! And, as always, if there are particular things you want to read about, you can comment directly on the blog and let me know or shoot me an email at info@weddingsbyvantage.com.
Happy shooting from Vantage!
