(https:\/\/peakd.com\/@alphaccino.art\/an-exercise-in-aperture-and-depth-of-field)\n\n***\n\nThe inspiration for this weeks theme comes from a post,<br> read sometime over the past few days... but one that I'm unable to locate right now (*rolls eyes*). I would like to give credit where credit is due so I'll keep looking and update this section asap.\n\n*Edit: Found it > [Photography Tutorial - Photography for Beginners by @hetty-rowan (https:\/\/steempeak.com\/neoxian\/@neoxian-city\/photography-tutorial-photography-for-beginners-by-hetty-rowan)*\n\n---\n\n![Second Photo (Really wanted to add aperture settings here but my camera didn't record them... hmm) (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/b0a8dlR.jpg)\n\n---\n\nOver the past few days,<br> I've read many,<br> many posts that caught my interest and one of those posts was a photography lesson about using aperture,<br> depth of field and getting familiar with the manual settings on your camera; something I've been meaning to do for a while now.\n\nThe author of the 'lost' post invited their readers to spend some time experimenting with different the manual settings in order to get a better understanding of how aperture works... and feeling like a bit of a challenge,<br> I felt inspired to use this as my photography theme for the next week.\n\nBoth these photos were taken late yesterday afternoon,<br> under an orange sky caused by bush-fires and smoke; but rather than pointing my camera directly at the sun,<br> I decided to hide behind some trees and have the glowing sky peeking through the leaves and branches.\n\n---\n\n![First Photo (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/r4YRe1K.jpg)\n\n---\n\nMy position worked well as cover but as you can see in my first photo,<br> using the auto settings resulted in a really busy photo with everything in focus and no distinct focal point.\n\nRemembering the lesson,<br> I bravely changed my settings from **Auto** to **A** and pointed my camera towards the sun,<br> once again. To get the effect I was looking for,<br> I needed something in the foreground to focus on... and in hindsight,<br> I wish I'd spent the time looking for a more interesting leaf but,<br> you get that.\n\nAnyhoo,<br> apart from the plain foreground leaves,<br> I'm pretty happy with the results... it reminds me of a photo I took last year with a beautiful bokeh background and I've been wanting a reason to recreate that photo so I know I'll be trying this again.\n\nUntil next time... xxx\n\n<center>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProudly representing\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\nhttps:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png\n\n<\/center>\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
