Today we used my anniversary gift to B: an intro class to photography. B had gotten a new DSLR just before our trip to Utah. We both had no experience using it, and luckily, just using the auto setting did a good job at capturing all the beautiful scenery. But we wondered what all the other buttons on the camera did.
He headed out early in the morning to a studio in Little Italy. I was in a cool warehouse with arched ceilings lines with wood and brick walls. The class introduced us to the different auto settings that can be used, aperture (to get fuzzy backgrounds), shutter speed (to capture action), photo composition…Definitely a lot of info that will take a lot of practice be to second nature.
After lunch, we walked around Little Italy and the harbor to snap a few photos and practice what we just learned. Here are a few shots:
I think that B has a better knack at picture taking. He has an eye for a nicely composed shot. So I think that we’ll make him the family photographer:)
