Bloggography Week 4: Aperture

This is my first week participating in Manic Mother and Better in Bulk's Bloggography Challenge, and I'm so excited! I love taking pictures, and even better when I can learn something new about my camera. This week the lesson was on using Aperture. I guess I missed the part about shooting something pink or red. Ooops! We've had some gorgeous sunny days lately, so the girls and I have put on our jackets and headed outdoors on an "adventure" ;) And this is what we found . . . dead grass. I know, I know, Super exciting ;) My husband saw me uploading pics and was like "What in the world are you taking pictures of grass for??" Oh, hunny.

f/1.8

ISO 100

f/6.3

ISO 200

And there you have it! Go on, take some pics. Then head on over to Manic Mother or Better in Bulk to link up!

Amy said...: Those came out great! That is another thing I didn't do, keep track of my aperture settings.

Thanks for stopping by today :); February 23, 2010 at 8:47 AM

Foursons said...: Very creative eye! Husbands don't always get us. Hahaha; February 23, 2010 at 11:43 AM
Kelli W said...: You made that dead grass look so pretty! My hubby has seen some of my pics and asked why I took them too! I have a question...what kind of lense did you use to take these shots? I am thinking of getting a new lense other than my zoom, but I'm not quite sure what to get!; February 23, 2010 at 12:26 PM
Unknown said...: I love your examples! Isn't it amazing what a difference changing the aperture makes?!

PS--I didn't take a picture of anything red or pink, either. ;); February 23, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Laura said...: Your comparisons are great. They really show the difference changing the aperture makes - just a totally different feel.

Very Cool!; February 23, 2010 at 6:14 PM
Marie said...: Your photos demonstrate how the different settings make for an entirely different mood. I am chuckling about your husband giving you a hard time about the subject matter. Mine was the same way. Why are you taking so many pictures of markers???; February 24, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Kelli said...: I'm not huge into photography but I like to take nice pictures. I have an advanced point and shoot and the only thing that makes me sad about it is that the Aperture only goes down to 2.8. You gave great examples of how it is used and what the results are. Good job!; February 24, 2010 at 11:26 AM
Heidi said...: Wow, what beautiful shots.

My husband used to wonder about some of the pictures I would need to stop and take, but now he just expects it and I am sure he appreciates it! :); February 25, 2010 at 11:45 AM
