Some camera parts

This is another great video that I found, I like how the guy opened the camera and the talked about functions of some of the parts.  I am a very visual person so this was very effective for me.

I think I will tell Santa Claus that I need a tripod!!!

Night Photography

I was doing some reasearch on night photograhy and I found this video.  The instructions are basic, simple and easy to follow.  I used the instructions to take these pictures.

I took off all the lights in my living room and and focused on capturing the light from my laptop.  I set my camera to manual, then adjusted the aperture to its lowest and played around with shutter speed.

Just before I was able to capture the picture above, I got it.  I like the blur effect of the light.

My First Photography Customer

This gentleman is one of my co-workers and last Saturday, we attended a baby shower of another co-worker.  As you can see he was smartly dressed.  I took my camera with me and he asked me to take some pictures of him.  In this shot, I instructed him how to pose.

So he asked me to have the pictures printed out for him, so I did that yesterday.  I took my memory chip to my photo store and had them print three pictures for me.  The cost was $1.80.  They look great!!! 

So when I delivered the pictures to the guy, he asked me how much I had for  him and I told him that he did not owe me anything.  I really did it as a favor to him.  Then he said that he will need copies, so of course I will have to charge for that!!!
