The book that got this idea off the ground was titled “52 Weekend Photography Projects” but upon closer inspection, the projects were far too complex and required quite a few pieces of specialized photography equipment such as remote flashes and triggers, studio light reflectors, etc. So I looked a little further and found a book I thought would be particularly helpful to Alicia. It is titled “Better Photo Basics, The Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Taking Photos Like the Pros” by Jim Miotke. This book will be the basis for our project because in addition to it’s basic tips and techniques, it has twenty “popular photography projects,” thirteen “advanced creative techniques,” and ten “easy fixes you can do on your computer” so it will be perfect. Jim also has a website called BetterPhotos.Com which we may eventually turn to for more information and ideas but for now, we intend to blog about our learning experience as guided by the book.
When I reviewed the book it was kind of funny. I read the introduction and “Step 1: Meet Your Camera Modes” followed by “Step 2: Forty Absolutely Easy Tips to Instantly Improve Your Photos.” I was a little disappointed because the author dove right in to taking pictures. He wanted his readers to have fun right away before they lost interest in “complicated” technicalities. But I wanted Alicia to learn the relationships of the important “variables” on the camera and how they each affected the photo because she was already motivated and now wants to IMPROVE. So I planned to find another resource for her to read first. Then I went on… “Step 3: Twenty Popular Photo Assignments.” “Step 4: Master the Light to Take Your Photos Further.” “Step 5: Aperture, Shutter Speed, and Focal Length” – THERE THEY WERE! The important variables I wanted to start with. So I gave the book to Alicia and told her to read the introduction and Step 1, and then to skip to Step 5! I added ISO to the mix and we discussed the 1:1 relationship between these variables. Basically, if you speed up the shutter, you have to open the lens wider to achieve the same exposure and vice versa.
Anyway, after Steps 1 and 5, we will move on to Step 2, and then we’ll start working on the twenty projects in Step 3. Yeah!
So… Give us a few more weeks to get school, dance, Army duty, etc behind us so we can do some photography learning and playing before digging in to the projects this summer!
Oh… I cheated! Project 2 is “Capture a Scenic Landscape” so I went to Yosemite National Park. hee hee hee! You don’t have to be a great photographer in a place like this. The scenic landscape does all the work!
