I've already discussed exposure in my first post, Learn Photography Basics, Get Your Camera Out of Auto Mode.  I explained how to set ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. I'm sure you thought that was all you needed before snapping away, but no, I am here to talk to you...

  As you know from following my Instagram, I am working on a 365 project. That means I take a picture every single day. I think I missed 2 days total in January, which is a big improvement from my past attempts. Here is a grid of some of my favorites. It'll be...

Sometimes, I think it's so weird that I am a photographer. I feel like it came out of nowhere. When I think back on various points in my life, I've always wanted to capture special moments and then I think, maybe it's not a stretch after all. My...
