Hello, .
When I ask photographers how they perceive a camera and a photograph, many answer by describing the camera and photograph as things that create memories.
I agree, and
this sentiment resonates deeply with me.
While photography has many uses, one of them is as a visual record of history.
Especially when bringing up memories of family and friends, the type of use that's especially close to my heart.
When we make an exposure, we use two components that create an exposure.
Aperture and shutter speed.
Shutter speed, a crucial element in photography, is an element of composition and a camera function we use to create a visual record of an event in time and space when we make a photograph.
Shutter speed is the time component.
And shutter speed choices usually consist of preset increments of time.
The ones on a camera may include speeds ranging from 30 seconds to 1/8000 of a second.
So, when we pick a shutter speed, we choose an increment of time to make an exposure.
The time that exposure is made
is the time that passes between starting and ending the exposure.
Some are longer increments of time, and some are shorter.
We can also think of faster or slower increments of time or more or less.
And anything
that happens during the exposure is recorded in the photograph.
In other words, those memories we create happen in relatively small amounts of time.
Shutter speed, a key compositional element in photography, plays a significant role in how motion is recorded.
Depending on the shutter speed we choose and the speed and amount of movement during the exposure, we can record motion as either blurred or static (not blurred).
If we use a shutter speed
that is fast enough relative to the movement occurring during the exposure, motion records are static.
If we use a shutter speed that is slow enough relative to the movement occurring during the exposure, motion records will be
blurred.
Either is fine, depending on our intent of composition.
I offer two classes that will familiarize you with how shutter speed works as a compositional element so you can use it skillfully.
The Getting To Know Your Camera class uses the shutter priority mode to do this.
The four-meeting,
ten-hour Introduction to Photography class will get you to explore the visual cause and effect of shutter speed in manual exposure mode over the length of the course.
Spaces are limited to five.
So, reserve your spot now, take the class, and become a better photographer by improving your
photography skills.
More classes are below.
Looking for a
camera?
A friend has a Sony Mirrorless Digital Camera, lens, and a bunch of accessories for sale.
I can vouch that the camera, lens, and accessories are in "Like New" condition.
It seems like
an excellent deal.

Do you need to learn to use your camera or brush up on some skills and techniques, especially if you want to be ready to take pictures and record those holiday moments?
I've scheduled Introduction to Photography and Getting to Know Your Camera classes.
Since class sizes are limited to five participants, it's a good idea to reserve your spot as soon as possible.
If you need a different schedule, there's always Private Lessons.
Below are
more ways to learn photography with me.
The Introduction to Photography
class or a series of Private Lessons will help you study and practice to become a photographer who can make the best possible pictures.
By studying and practicing photography with me, you'll learn how to be a better photographer.
More ways to study and practice with me are below.
