Digital photography, how not to be me



Somehow, without me even realizing I fell into this category, Iā€™ve become ā€œthe guy who is always taking all the pictures wherever we go.ā€Ā  And I generally fine with this.Ā  Typically I can amuse myself by taking pictures of random signs and things that are funny out of context.Ā  However, Iā€™m not a photographer.Ā  And more importantly, Iā€™m not a good photographer.

However, a couple items were passed my way that I felt I should pass on.Ā  Citizen journalism includes not only researching and writing, but can be greatly enhanced by decent photography.Ā  This article by PC Magazine goes over a lot of basic information, and itā€™s goal is to get you to a place where you donā€™t rely on the auto settings.Ā  Get ready to read and understand words like ISO, aperture, shutter speed and f-stops.

I discovered this article while reading JOHO, and this entry has more informationĀ to share with you, including use of flashes and diffusers.
