Week 3: Macros

No theme in particular....

Compare & Contrast

I took this photo using my Canon PowerShot A580 point & shoot camera. I used Automatic settings in front of a background that I made for my light-tent. I only set up the light-tent because that's the only way that I could hang the background. The camera chose a 1/60th of a second shutter speed, ISO 80 and Aperture of 7.1










This photo was taken with my Canon Rebel XTi on a tripod using ambient light with no flash. I shot it with a shutter speed of 30 seconds, ISO 400 and Aperture of f18. Couldn't figure out the source of the weird fog-like lighting on the bowl and left cheek. These photos are both taken using the same background.

I am returning to college after fifteen years away from the classroom...what in Hell am I thinking?!? I have been inspired to take this step by my daughter, as she steps into a college classroom for the first time this week. Many times throughout her High School career I doubted her desire and feared that she would quit. I know that most parents feel a sense of pride as they watch their child cross the stage to receive their diploma....I felt awestruck and humbled. So... here I am. I owe her the same effort that she showed me. And so it begins.....
