I finally took the big leap and turned the dial to MANUAL. I love being able to have more control over my camera and am leaning to feel more comfortable each day. My confidence can be attributed to the fact that I am taking an online photography class from Christy Vanderwall at Speedscraps. The class is based on a book by Bryan Peterson called Understanding Exposure. Her method of teaching is dotting all of i's for me. For instance, think of lining up 22 glasses. Using a smaller f/22 aperture you will see all 22 glasses perfectly focused from front to back. Whereas, if you use a larger f/4 aperture, you will only see the first four glasses clearly with the background blurred. Now, just how clear is that???

About Me
It all began with a Canon Rebel XTi. I am fascinated by detail and the camera lens allows me to really focus on the part as opposed to the whole. With my “antique” Brownie Instatmatic, I captured a rather blurry scene which I never felt quite told the story. To isolate the petal of a delicate rose, the tiny iridescent glow of an insects wing, a babies foot, the splashing of a wave . . . oh there’s so much more to photography. Won’t you come join the journey with me?
