So, I'm in this awesome photo class, right? I love it. But I've decided that it would be better if I started taking my camera everywhere with me. Because if I don't, I forget that I have homework that needs to be done. And that it's probably not best to wait until the last minute to do that homework, because it will probably be raining. Because that's what happens in Cache Valley. It's lovely and sunny the first few days. And then it rains all weekend. Good thing I had a brightly polka-dotted umbrella and a cute sister who loves me. :)
This is my "singular focus" picture. I definitely like the singular focus aperture best for this--nicely blurred background, focus all on her.

Next up is the "who cares?" aperture picture. Don't you love my mom's sweet decorations? The only way you can really see a difference in the apertures is the "sunburst" effect coming from the very bright little light in the pumpkin. Believe it or not, I actually like the "who cares?" aperture best.

And last of all, we have the "storytelling" aperture. My sister excels at being dramatic.

f/5.6 1/100 ISO: 400 |

f/8.0 1/60 ISO: 400 |

f/22.0 1/40 ISO: 3200 |
And that's pretty much it. I noticed that metering off of different objects really does make a difference. I spent plenty of time trying to figure out what I was metering off of that was causing me to over or under expose my picture. I'm so grateful for a patient subject. I can also see a serious difference between the different aperture categories. Some of these pictures make it a little hard to tell what the difference is, but when I see it full screen, I can tell.
Also, can I just say how weird it is to post pictures without even introducing them to photoshop? Can't wait to hear your feedback!
