Graphic Designer Turned Photographer

June 7, 2010

I am a creative; not a coder. I have no idea the amount of times I told myself that (Twittered and Facebooked it, too). I was stubborn and kept my graphic design gig going. I didn’t listen to the signs coming from my family: “Hannah, you are always on that stinking computer!” “I really need [...]

Photography Basics: What is shutter speed?

March 10, 2010

Shutter speed is simply this: how fast your camera snaps the shot. It’s easy peasy.

If you are in a low light situation, your camera’s shutter will have to stay open longer to let more light in. In this kind of situation, if you aren’t using a tripod you’ll probably get a [...]

Photography Basics: Composing

February 15, 2010

This probably won’t be as confusing as ISO, you’ll be glad to know.
