Fotography Friday

…Nothing like getting this in at the last possible moment…

As you may have noticed, I’ve been trying to make time for photography in my life. This hobby has a hard time competing with my love of baking. BUT, luckily this blog brings both of those hobbies together into one. I like to think that my new *in April* Nikon D40 DSLR camera has helped my food photography this year. Or just the fact that I’ve made a conscience effort to learn to take better pictures. I’ve taken a couple classes and added quite a few photography blogs to my Google Reader.

Sometime last summer, I was talking with CB (of I heart Food 4 Thought) about cameras. If I remember correctly, she posted something on her blog about cameras or food pictures… So we talked about DSLRs and food photography. Now that she has a DSLR too (a Sony A200), we were talking about trying to learn how to use these dang things without just reading the manual from cover to cover. We decided to take it in small steps and learn together.

If you recall, Steph and Amy started Photo Week which just encourages anyone to get out there and use your camera more, the idea with Fotography Friday is to actually take an advanced topic (that may or may not be available in a P&S) and dig into when the details of these advanced machines that we have. Basically, we’ll pick a topic the first Friday of the month. Then we’ll both do our own research and play around with the topic. Then we’ll post about it before the next topic is revealed. Feel free to join us on our journey. You can post on any Friday throughout the month, or every Friday during the month. Participate as much or little as you’d like. Like I said, the topics may or may not be suited for your camera, but feel free to join and take any interpretation of the topic you want.

Now that you get the idea, here’s the first topic: 

FLASH
This topic was motivated by the fact that the days are just TOO SHORT to get any food photographs with natural light (Rule #1 for food photography). I have to admit that I do try to save my baking for the weekends so I can get some good pictures in natural lighting… Or sometimes I save a couple cookies until the weekend just to get a good picture of them. Now we all know it is possible to use the flash and not have everything washed out. It’s possible and in the next month I’m determined to understand how to do it with my camera.

One other thing. I’m double dipping on this. I plan to read through my D40 manual through this blogging event so that I can mark another thing off my list before my next birthday!

    These are fantastic! Great action in the first shot and equally great serenity in the other two. You must have a really steady hand if you didn’t prop the camera for that first shot, the lines are perfect!

    speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

    When purchasing car insurance, two big words always stand out.

    Before you venture out to dealerships or used car lots,
    do some research. Being categorized as high-risk under these classifications can result in higher rates for insured motorists to which they
    should not be subjected.

    1 day car Insurance for a provisional driver — May 14, 2013 at 12:24 pm

    Read the policy information properly as there may
    be slight differences from one insurer to the next. Negative marks on your DMV record are made public
    to any insurance company and if they see this type of bad behavior on your driving record, it will mean costly
    premiums. You will have a harder time obtaining
    a work release if you wait a day or so after the accident.

    Even if you have what you think is excellent health care insurance, you cannot
    be sure that if you have a devastating illness that your
    insurer will pay for your health care expenses as over 60% of those
    who had to file bankruptcy found out. This will also occur if you bought standard ancillary for
    dental or optician sessions, only to realize later on you’ve got more needs that demand more payment. This is halved if the offender was under eighteen at the time of conviction.

    I seldom leave a response, but I read a lot of responses on Nighttime Friday | Beantown Baker.
    I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it simply me or does it appear like some of the responses look like they are written by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing at other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you post a list of all of your social community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    health & dental insurance quotes — August 30, 2013 at 3:59 am

    Fast forward to 1966 and over 60 companies offered this type of insurance.
    But we are using the much less common colonoscopy
    example. Fulfilling this fundamental need makes people feel secured,
    and it makes sense that people with better health can contribute more to the society.
