Over the weekend I went to a photography workshop here in Boise put on by Rocky Mountain School of Photography. It's a photography school in Missoula Montana. I found out about it from a brochure in the mail, thanks to my friends over at B&H Photo. It was a great weekend with a lot of information and some great tips. I just hope that I can remember everything I learned when it comes time to put them to use. Good thing I took a lot of notes! There were a few things that I had learned in my college photo class, that were nice refreshers. Then there was a lot of things that were new. One of the things I learned was about the quality of light and the photography color wheel. I didn't learn the color wheel stuff in college, because the only class I took was the B&W class and dark room. Without going into way too much detail, basically by changing your white balance to a certain setting, when you have a cloudy gray sky, and making sure you're not overexposing the photo, you get this amazing beautiful blue sky!
This was Monday night when I was playing with the camera
This is what you get when it's cloudy gray outside and you just let the camera choose the settings. Not so pretty, right?
This is what you get when you change your white balance and control the settings a little more. Nothing but beautiful blue sky!
I love photography! Can't wait to try out some more of the fun stuff I learned. Can't wait to learn more great stuff about photography!
