Day Sixteen: Something I Now Know, But Don't Have To

Today the lesson at 31 Days To A Better Photo is about exposure compensation. Now here's the deal, I started reading into this very carefully and I was thinking, "Good gracious! What else do I have to learn!!"! But when I get toward the end of the bottom, I find out it's for those who don't have the hang of exposure (shutter speed, aperature, and ISO). It's kind of a cheat tool, if you will. You tell your camera to either let more or less light in.

I know how to adjust the exposure on my camera properly by using my meter and checking it after the photo is taken with my histogram, so this lesson didn't apply to me.

I am now more than halfway through the lessons. I noticed the rest are less technical and more about proper ways to take photos. We also get into Photoshop...YAY!

The photos from tonight are plants at Abuelo's. You are probably asking, "Why were you at Abuelo's?". The answer is that Brennen's boss is in town so we trekked to Midland to eat out. Really well. On the company's dime. And I didn't have to clean the kitchen. And I took photos of some very pretty flowers. But not of the boys. They were too busy.

Wanna hear something cool? It's really kind of dark in that restaurant. Look how not dark these pictures are!! I am really happy!
