Photography!

In class we were given a few digital cameras and told to go outside and find something Edward Burtynsky-ish. Something that showed the relation between nature and industry. While doing this we were also asked to only shoot with Manual shutter speeds, Aperatures and do this all BY HAND.

Having taken a photography class, I was excited to use a camera. However after using the digital, I was at a loss. I knew how to use a film camera, but a digital Nikon set on manual? God help me. Eventually though, over this past weekend I got the hang of the camera. Yay me!

Here is a photo I took of my ring, which is very much so over exposed.



Now, here is one that was under exposed. Also if you happen to see a Guniea Pig in any of these photos, that's because my two little boys (Guinea Pigs, not human sons) were running around my yard.



I am unsure of both of these photo's Shutter and Aperture speeds, however it is visibly changed through both of them. Below is a shot that I finally got right. How I cursed this Nikon after I was finished the photoshoot though...



I hope you can see the difference in the images, and actually prefer the last one to the under and over exposed images. I was quite satisfied with all of my photographs. And for all of those skeptics, no I did not edit these in photoshop and no I did not use an onion skin to get them all to relatively the same point of interest.

Love,
The NA.

PS, here is a photo of my Piggies <3


Mr. Mann is the gold-y brown one, and Voodoo is the one that looks like a peanut butter cup.
