Starting photography as a newbie had its perks and draw-backs. The perks being that each image taken with your camera is exciting, you get to learn how to use the camera and develop. I have been taking photographs for two years and I have still barely touched the surface. I have learned a few things and have picked up a few tricks along the way. I consider this blog as my scrap book of my favourite pictures that I have taken in the two years. I take these images with my Nikon D3100.

The marriage of my sister
This was taken at my sister's wedding. She asked me to take some photos of her and her husband. My idea was to take a photograph of them looking at me from the reflection of the mirror of the attendees. I had to use no flash as there was a paid photographer there taking pictures for the whole event.

F-stop - f/4.5
Exposure time - 1/15sec

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
