Day 31

"Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza
Me and my shadow"

Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr

Photography prompt 1

We have already taken 14 brilliant photos documenting your last 14 days. This week look at taking photos from a different angle/perspective. Try taking photos from above, from below. Take a closer look and start to zoom in on your subject.

If you are working with a digital camera try playing with depth of field. Here's a pratical for you to try.

Go grab a vase of flowers, a plant, coffee cup and place on a table. Grab your manul if you have never moved from auto!!

1. Place your camera onto apperture priority "A" or "TV". This allows you to change the F/stop apperture setting and your camera will sort the shutter speed for you

2. Pop your ISO onto 100 - 250 depending on your light situation.100 being outside and good lighting, 250 for inside with some natural light

3. Now move your fstop to the lowest number on your camera, this could be anything between 1.4 - 3.5. Focus on your subject, take your photo

4. Now move the fstop to 5.6 , snap. Next move to fstop 11, snap

5. Can you see a difference? Your first photo shows the subject in clear focus with a blurry background. The last photo shows all the area in clear focus!

Day 14

"Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.”

Bette Davis

I want you to really think about this quote today . What did you attempt today that improved your day?

365 Days of Fee

Just discovered this challange.

Gotta love being ill - have spent the last few days creating blogs and mucking about in the internet looking for things to do.

This is going to be a hard challenge for me to do, as I'm not a fan of having my photo taken as such, and also I'm terrible at seeing things through due to other commitments etc.

So this is going to be a real challange for me to keep up! My little digital camera has packed in so I will have to resort to using my mobile phone(s) until I can afford to get a new one.
