Learning to control light through camera operations

The Ferris Wheel stopped in action.

   I really didn’t learn anything new; all things discussed in this block of instruction I have learned in previous classes.

   What I do know is the more you shoot, the more you learn.

   Camera operations is a learning experience; each time you set out to shoot something use the manual function on your camera. It can be trying at first, but manual will help you control issues when they pop up in difficult lighting situations.

   When a scene is not lit to your liking, try letting light in, whether it’s through f/stops and shutter speeds.

Tombs glow in the dark.

   Using a tripod helps you limit blurring with your images.

   Shoot whenever you get a chance and play with your camera controls as much as possible.

   Happy shooting!
