I downloaded a book yesterday, yes... a BOOK. It's called Digital Photography Simplified... as I'm reading the beginning pages of this book I learn something new, how couldn't I, I'm not an expert, yet, on cameras and photography.
So... Today i learned this...
All digital SLRs and many small digital cameras
include the modes P for Program, A or Av for
Aperture-Priority, and S or Tv for Shutter Speed-
Priority exposure. The camera chooses both shutter
speed and aperture in P, making it good for quick
shots. In A, you choose an aperture for depth-of-field,
and the camera sets the shutter speed. In S, you
choose a shutter speed, and the camera sets the
appropriate aperture or f-stop.
If you didn't already know any of this, there you go... glad I could teach you a new lesson today! Take it or leave it... :)

This picture is positioned weird because I forgot my tripod at home and had to set my camera on the couch to get a group picture! :)
My younger brother Michael has a band concert tomorrow. He plays the trombone.. and he is one of the best out of... oh about 20 trombone players. I am very excited to go watch him play. I'll come back home tomorrow with pictures.

As some of you notice I did not do NOT ME MONDAY on Monday... today is Wednesday... yeah... I was extremely busy and LAZY on Monday. I will be sure to do one on next Monday!
For all those who have told me they enjoy reading them :)

Learning new things about cameras is fun! I still have my 35MM camera and all the lenses. I am thinking about selling them so I can buy new stuff for my Nikon hehe
I REALLY want a portable lamp and a background stand so I can take pictures of Jude at home without shadows. We'll see!
Go girl!!! It's so much fun learning new things about my camera... when I first started reading about all that... well, let's just say that I'm still understanding it, but it's all coming to me!! LOL
Have fun at the concert!!

i agree with Tab, it's fun learning about your camera and finally figuring out how to do something that you've seen someone else do. i need to start back up with mine...i took a lil break :)
There's a great book my wedding photog turned me onto to help me learn my new dslr... Understanding exposure... i started reading it and it is AMAZING! but i've yet to practice the little techniques as i was reading (on a plane). I can't wait to try them out though! such great tips! :)

you, tab and bri...go girls with your photography...it rocks...but you seriously lost me in translation, lol! i'll stick with my little 8 pixel kodak, that i can't even work completely as it is or a good old fashioned disposible one....i love those!
Ok, now you will have to explain to me what
Aperture-Priority, Shutter Speed-
Priority exposure, depth-of-field and f-stop mean! LOL. Glad to see that you are learning and having fun.
I so need to learn how to use my SLR. I've had it for almost 2 years and still don't know what everything means on it...just haven't had time. A lot of my photos come out too red. I guess if I tried to learn something I'd be able to fix it. lol ;-)
