A view of the Eye

Believe it or not, when I had taken this picture there was a large number of individuals in this shot. I used a long exposure to capture the light and of course anyone who didn't stand still long enough was not captured in the image.

Of course, to anyone who is fond of taking images and does this on a regular basis, or, in the business of taking photographic images knows that you will need to take several photos just to get that one perfect picture.

What I have also realised is that I am going to need to take this photo again with a NDF "Natural Density Filter" to help reduce the blowout, which you cans see at the of the Eye.

It is thoroughly enjoyable, especially when you take that picture that you believe has been well done.

ISO - 200
Exposure - 13 Seconds
Aperture - f22


Of course all this pictures are taken with my standard Nikon D3100 with the 18 - 55mm kit lens. As I upgrade I will keep you all updated.

ALSO, if you have any suggestion for taking better images comment in the box below and I will try it out.

Fashion Shoot

This picture was taken of my friend for blog, of her outfit. She preferred me not to shoot with flash as it compromised to the look of the image, and the actual design of her attire. I increased the ISO in order the censor to collect more light, but I had to be careful because her blouse is white and skirt is black meaning that I could increase the ISO too much or slow down the shutter speed or the blouse would have become too bright and ruined the image.


Here are the settings for the picture taken.

F-stop - f/4.2 = Aperture
Exposure Time - 1/60 sec.
ISO - 200
Metering - Spot
Flash - No
