Somehow, without me even realizing I fell into this category, Iāve become āthe guy who is always taking all the pictures wherever we go.āĀ 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, Iām not a photographer.Ā And more importantly, Iām 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 itās goal is to get you to a place where you donāt 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.
