Oh my! Even though this photograph is
still dark on the statue’s face…
I am loving what the program Lightroom
and the new flash
Canon Speedlite 430 EX III
{picked up a couple of weeks ago}
and a soft diffuser can do for photographs…
This was an accidental photograph
I took and was going to erase
but
then I thought maybe I’d include it…
Totally ugly, isn’t it?
I was just shooting in the room checking
the lighting and hit the shutter
without focusing.
***This second photograph was really the third photograph ~
taken after shooting a photograph using the auto focus.
I learned a little bit this week about
using math to figure out what f-stop
to use when photographing.
All this time I have been playing around
with the aperature and shutter speed ~
the length of time
the shutter needs to be open.
Most of my photos are grainy
and
I like a lot of them that way.
They have a 1970’s look to them
that I grew up with shooting film
with my old instamatic cameras.
However if I really want to get better
at this whole photography thing
{and I obviously do}
I need to bring some
Big Girl photography skills
to the table.
🙂
This one was one I took with the Canon Speedlite
attached to my Canon EOS Rebel SL1 camera
but without the portable pop-up
diffuser on top of the flash’s clip on plastic diffuser.
It’s blown out but not a bad photo overall.
This pop-up diffuser is a portable 16″
round “cover” that gets put overtop
of the flash unit.
It works great and is a good
first diffuser and less expensive
than purchasing a large umbrella-type diffuser
professional photographers use
in their studios and on location.
The portable diffuser I purchased is the
Fstoppers Flash Disk.
Hopefully these two pins I saved from
Pinterest will show for you.
🙂
And here’s one final photograph
that I copied to bring over
to share.
I can work with this one and lighten up
the statue’s face and sharpen it up a bit.
Our washer was spinning at the time
so you can see the shake
in the picture…
lol!
😉
Oh, and that watercolor which snuck in
up above in amongst the photos…
That’s a work in progress and a project
I’m getting some help with…
Hope you like the changes
going on,
Happy Friday!
