Shutterspeed and Aperture Study


This photo, taken on Canon Rebel XTi with Canon 75-300mm f/3.5-5.6 stock telephoto lens is an illustration of the effects of both aperture and shutterspeed. It is the tip of an umbrella (if you couldn't tell :P) and the streaking lines behind it are raindrops. It is taken at a relatively slow shutterspeed to achieve the blue, with a wide aperture and long zoom to achieve the shallow depth of field. The dark lighting of the rainy day allowed me to shoot with those settings so it wasn't overexposed.

  1. Bar none your best work. Color, contrast, dutch (or should I say Ronnie angle) and texture really well together.

Happy Easter! This video really put into perspective for me what it's all about!

Nate + Dewey = Quality (Photo Essay)

The photo essay assignment was a hard one for me. First off, it took a long time to get some ideas flowing for a subject, and then once I did, it didn't leave me a lot of time to actually shoot and post the photos. So, while you may not be seeing my best work here, I think the photos following tell a pretty good story. If not, for a timeless story, may I refer you to the happy couple below in their wedding garb....

REBELUTION!
