Exposure in photography refers to the amount of light allowed into your photos. If it is used correctly, exposure compensation has the ability to give you brighter and whiter pictures!
Today is likely our last Photography 101 lesson because we have pretty much covered the basics of adjustments on your camera. Some of you have mentioned that you're interested in learning about editing, staging, and what techniques go into taking good pictures so we'll begin covering those topics soon.
Our final lesson is about exposure compensation. This is useful after the adjustments have been made with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It is really one of my favorite adjustments, but can be easily overused.

After two months, it is finally time to have another lesson in photography! Have you been working on your skills?
There are so many different things to know and remember as you take pictures for a blog, selling online, or capturing moments with your family. Reading a camera manual isn't much fun, so I'm taking things step by step here to help you learn and experiment in how to catch better shots with whatever type of camera you have.

It has been a month since our last lesson on photography when we learned about aperture. (Where did that time go?!?!) Have you been practicing how to use this amazing feature in your camera? Another one of the basics in photography is shutter speed, and that is what today's lesson is all about.

There is a lot of technical things to learn when it come to photography. But for these photography lessons, I want to break it down to the absolute basics so that we can all understand how our cameras work and what we can do to get brighter, clearer pictures. Whether you take pictures to post on a blog, to sell items you make, or to capture moments in your family's life, photography is important. With just a few techniques and a little practice your skills can improve tremendously.
A couple weeks ago, I shared what I consider to be the three most important things that you need to take good photos. Today's lesson on photography is all about aperture.

Even as a child I loved taking pictures. Granted, those pictures were not always good....sometimes a little blurry....sometimes a little dark. But there has always been a part of me that enjoys holding a camera and snapping pictures from different angles. My dad enjoyed taking pictures (this is his camera in the pictures), and I think I probably developed an interest from watching him.
As I've gotten older, my cameras have gotten to be of a better quality (and of course, more expensive). About a month after starting my blog last year, I purchased my first DSLR and love working with it. It is a Nikon D5100. I'm dreaming of this camera, but for now with my budget the Nikon that I have is going to do.
3 Must Haves for Great Pictures | Photography 101
As a blogger, I am constantly trying to find ways to make my photography better. One of the problems I have is trying to take pictures of things that I make in good natural light without a distracting background. There is perfect natural light in my dining room, but I don't have large sections of bare wall available without moving heavy furniture and decorations. I don't mind taking the time to move things around if I'm taking pictures of a piece of furniture or something large, but it is time consuming to move everything for one small product shot. And normally, by the time I get everything moved around and set up, the light has moved on.
