Aperture, ISO, and Exposures : Oh My!

I get a lot of comment {love} about my pictures…  someone even used the word “delicious” to describe them.  I thought that was too stinking cute!  I am so not a photographer.  However, I do {love} to style things and set up fun photo props for the blog.  So, I thought I’d tell you that I shoot with a Cannon Rebel XSi with an external flash.  I use a 50mm lens for everyday use — aaaand I take 99% of my pictures on Auto.  So what?  Big deal, right?  Well, apparently it is a BIG deal. {giggle}  I say, “Do whatever works for you!” I will tell you that good pictures are SO important in bloggy world — they catch peoples attention, they get you featured and they’re just pretty to look at.  

Moving on.  As many of you already know — my twin sister, Kristine, is the photographer behind Kristine Lynn Photography (KLP).  I’m not sure I’ll ever hear the end of it when it comes to shooting in Auto vs. Manual. She recently offered a Photography 101 class here in St. Louis.

Of course I attended and had a super fun time.  It was a wee bit overwhelming at times, but informative.  I’ll try to put my best foot forward in shooting on Manual, but playing with your exposure, aperture, shutter speed and/or your ISO requires time and patience. Two words that you might not use to describe me. HA!
