I bought a new camera last year before our trip to Peru. Panasonic DMC FZ200. I wanted more than a simple point and shoot yet wasn’t sure about the very sophisticated cameras out there. Doing my research online, this camera came with high recommendations. Most of the pictures you see on the blog are taken with this camera. It is time to learn more of the tricks of the trade of photography.
I am taking the Craftys , Basics of Digital photography. Rick Allred is a very good teacher, I think my camera is not quite as sophisticated but I’m doing my best to learn. I know, cameras are like sewing machines, there is always something better out there.
Here are a few of the examples that I have achieved so far.
Using Fstop, here I have a very sharp picture of both the flower and the background.
Here you can see, the background is blurrier. Of course I would like to learn how to manipulate this more. I know, practice!
The camera comes with set options, might as well play with them as well.
Very sharp detail on the flower as well as intense colors.
Highlighting the flower, dimming out the background.
I hope with time that as I photograph what I make, I can get more creative with images. This is just the beginning.
