Jedi Master??

Share the love.

That is my feeling on Photography.

I'm no pro—far from it actually—but I know enough to help another.

So that is what I am writing about. I took my colleague/friend out today to shoot some photos. We ditched his "not so super" lenses and gave him my macro 100mm. I hope that he shows off his pics.



His project? Manual exposure.

That's right: the poor dude has taken 10000 pictures with his camera and has never shot in Manual.

So his project was 3 pics of each subject: one with f2.8 , one with f5.6 and the last with f22. This was so he could see the difference and get used to manually setting the camera for exposure.

At one point, he called me his "yoda".

And we reflected about how to describe the day:

"What did you do today?"



"I took pictured of bees and flowers in sets of 3"

This is something I wish I had help on when I first started, but I think I did fine with what information I had.



And I am happy to have helped. At least I hope I helped!

Okay. You have to accept that you really are my Yoda. Be glad we'd don't secretly call you Annekin. (Yes, I know I can't spell that name. I'm proud to not be crazy enough to have learned.)

I had a good time shooting and finally got around to actually posting some of the photos. I have to say though that you haven't made me an all-manual-all-the-time man, not just yet.
