I've decided that I've always wanted to learn more about photography. I take photos, most of them get trashed. But I keep on trying. I've decided to use this "Daily Photos" blog on SailWinterlude.com to share stuff as I learn. If you're interested, please stick around!
First, in order to take better photos, I have to take more photos. Daily. Almost every blog I read has the same advice, so it must be true, right?
One blog, Digital Photography School has a newsletter with a weekly assignment. I've never participated (and still won't) - I know when I'm outclassed. But this week's assignment is "Vertical Lines". When we took our walk, we went looking for vertical lines.

Drum roll.... my favorite, although I'm not sure it's all about vertical lines ... my corn tunnel. The reason it's my favorite? I've been following another website, Moose Peterson, who is an AMAZING photographer, probably my very favorite. I've been paying attention to the settings he's using and he seems to shoot alot on AV (aperture value). I wanted most of the photo in focus and he says to use a higher f stop, so I used f22. I know if you're a "real" photographer, you'll say it's overexposed and other stuff, but I DID IT without being on "P" or auto! And it's not too dark to see down the corn tunnel, so I'm happy happy happy!!!
