Tuesday Tip day–Glens Falls, NY Family Photographer

March 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to announce the winner of the Sweepstakes and the 2010 Client Vote! That will come soon!

Today’s tip is a little lesson about aperture. Last week we talked about shutter speed and how it tells us how long the shutter stays open. F-stops tell us how far the aperture opens. The aperture opens more the smaller the f-stop number. These numbers affect depth of field. I need to explain depth of field before we dig too much further but that’s for next week. For now we’ll just stick with how the f-stop affects the exposure triangle. The lower your f-stops the more open the aperture and the more light will be coming in. So in low-light settings you’ll want to open your aperture or decrease your f-stops to let in more light.

Quick tip for today but next week we’ll find out what else f-stops do (depth of field)! Depth of field is my absolute FAVORITE!!

Fabulous Friday–Glens Falls, NY Family Photographer

March 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Good Morning! I’m not sure it’s a fabulous Friday but I am sure I’m going to make it one!! To go to bed to BYU losing their game and wake up to snow covering my car makes finding the fabulousness in the day a little harder then usual.

On the bright side, BYU’s game was fun to watch and hard fought despite a few things that left them short at the end. And, well, the snow is going to melt because it’s just a covering!

Tuesday Tip day–Glens Falls, NY Family Photographer

March 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Although I’d like to pretend it’s Tuesday and I didn’t COMPELTEY forget to blog yesterday, the truth of the matter is that Wednesday is closer to date night so I’m going to stick with Wednesday (because I have the power to change the day of the week like the government changes the time of day?!) Ok, no more sinicism. I’m hoping this blog will make sense because I’m feeling all over the place today.

Did you practice using your camera in manual ISO settings last week? Woohoo! (I’m pretending or assuming you said yes).

Let’s talk a little today about shutter speed. Shutter speed is simply how long your shutter opens up for. So if you have a  faster shutter speed, your camera is opening up quicker and therefore not letting in as much light. If you have a slower shutter speed your camera is staying open longer and letting in more light.

Ok, this is how I look at it. When I want more light…darker settings and my subject is fairly still then I make the shutter speed number on my camera be a low number. Be careful not to let that number get to low if you are not using a tripod. The human hand on average can only hold the camera still enough to get a sharp (not blurry) image down to 1/60th of a sec.

***It may get a bit confusing when I say low number. In practical terms that shows up on my camera as the number 60. I have to remember that 60 is 1/60 and so 4000 is 1/4000 and therefore 60 is great then 4000. I’ve always been a wiz at math! So a slower shutter speed is a larger number then a faster shutter speed but on my canon cameras it shows up as a lower number because to save space they leave off the fraction. I’m sorry if this is confusing but I said my mind works in practicality, not in technicality.

Another example:

When it’s daylight and bright outside or I’m shooting in snow (lots of brightness) I get my shutter speed number number up pretty high 1/4000 (showing on the camera as 4000). Also, if I’m shooting movement like a 2 year old or a soccer player, then I need a “smaller” number to appear on my screen.

Ok, feedback please. Do I make sense? I’m really trying to write like I think. That’s a little scary! Happy Wednesday!

A picture a day–Glens Falls, NY Family Photographer

March 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment

I probably take many pictures each day but today is a gray and rainy day after a sunshiny day. I need to remember the sunshine. It sure is a good thing Hudson Falls school had a superintendent’s day. We soaked in the rays all day!!

First off, if you haven’t voted yet, head to Facebook and vote for your favorite photo of 2010! Just for voting you receive an entry into our sweepstakes for a free-mini session!

The tip for this week is ISO. What is it? It’s the old school film way of identifying the different type or speed of films. The rules of ISO still apply for digital photos. The higher the ISO the grainer the photo. Also, with high ISO you will be able to capture more movement and photograph in lower light conditions. The basic rule of thumb is to use the lowest ISO possible.

There’s always a bit of give and take. If you are shooting, for instance, your child’s sporting event outside on a bright sunny day you can bump up your shutter speed and keep your ISO low so that your photos have very little noise (grain, little dots, etc.)

If it’s dark and rainy out you may need to a bit higher ISO to compensate.

Go out and enjoy this sunshine. Play with the ISO, don’t leave it in AUTO!
