On my last few post I wanted to focus more on photography as there are tips and how to functions within Smith's text "The Artist Handbook." While reading the book I noticed that there were very specific details that helped me understand the setting of the camera and how certain things can change the outcome.
I first read about the aperture and lighting of a camera, that as the aperture on the setting got higher the picture becomes darker depending on your setting. Aperture is basically the hole and how small it gets, the smaller the hole the less light that's able to go through, making a dimmer picture. I found that certain apertures fit towards the type of setting and environment you're in.
What I liked most about the digital cameras were that as you changed the lenses it gave certain aspects towards it. "A 35mm single lens reflex. This is extremely versatile and can be used for original work...the film size is large enough to be able to produce images on fine-grain film which, when greatly enlarged, retain a reasonable crispness" (Smith 325). The crispness of picture definitely made a visual difference as well as making it look more professional.
How else do you think I can use the aperture to my advantage?
If you were to have a camera, what'd be the first thing you photographed?
