*snore*

So I really should be in bed. I have both church and work tomorrow.

Meh.

I'm in the middle of editing pictures from my new DSLR to post for your viewing pleasure. All of them are either from the rodeo I went to two weekends ago or from a random photo shoot I did with Amanda that same weekend. Nothing really strikingly artistic, although I do very much like the way they turned out.

I'm slowly learning my way around the DSLR's controls. I still have a little bit of trouble with the aperture, but I'll figure it out in time. At the moment I'm waiting for GIMP to finish applying a filter to one of my failed shots.

Certain shots that aren't pleasing in terms of light I just apply filters to and call it art. :XD: i think it works well that way.

It's storming outside. And I hear random noises that are freaking me out. And I'm getting tired. G'night.

Quick tutorial:
"small" aperture = high F-stop number. example: F-22
"large" aperture = low F-stop number. exmaple: F-1.8

small aperture = deep depth of field = more clear distance from foreground to background. (more likely to get clear everything; good for landscape, architecture, etc.)
large aperture = shallow depth of field = less clear distance from foreground to background. (more likely to get blurry backgrounds; good for macro shots, motion shots, etc.)

compensate the loss of exposure from a small aperture by lengthening the shutter speed, don't be like me and over do it though. the Av mode is a good place to start if you want to grasp at the differences between F-stops. :D Good luck~ Looking forward to seeing more things.

I know it all in theory...my problem is in applying it, or remembering it when I'm taking pictures.

One word advice: practice. :D I still neglect it sometimes simply because there's so many other things to worry about...
