It's a learning process

APERTURE * ISO * f/STOP *

SHUTTER SPEED * EXPOSURE

It's all a foreign language to me so....

....Brice drew me a "picture"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The picture at this point means a whole lot more than the books below...

For Christmas my sweet husband Rick gave me two good books to equipt me with

photography know-how.

(In November he gave me a new Sony Camera)

I'm really good at using it in "Automatic mode", but I would like to learn how to use it in different lighting situations etc.

*

So with a few short lessons from my little Photographer, Brice, I tried a few things today in low lighting. I don't pretend to have anything mastered yet but with some practice I might actually get the hang of it.

***
Next three pictures where taken in same low light,

I just manipulated the manual settings

Taken in low light, with automatic (flash).

Things are a bit washed out, too bright

*

Obviously, not enough light (manual mode, no flash)

*

Taken in same lighting, manual setting, still no flash

I think this is about right!
