Getting some expert advice!
In my last
blog I covered the four main areas I plan to learn about and improve on; capturing
the moment, finding my focal point, using the available lighting and techniques
and formatting. I have chosen three main
resources to help me along. These
resources are: the Autobiography of Ansel Adams, the National Geographic E- Guide
to Photography, and the Nikon L120 Users Manual. Below, I would like to explain why I chose them.
Ansel Adams
An Autobiography
I chose this book because he is my
favorite photographer. The way he
describes the beauty of his subjects shows his passion and his ability to use
and manipulate light shows his genius and his extreme talent. His close work with the Sierra Club is also
something I admire in him.
The National
Geographic E- Guide to Photography
I chose
this guide because since childhood I have been mesmerized by their photographs
and films. The photographer’s ability to
get right in where the action is and their ability to catch the split second
shot I find amazing. Each photographer
has their own strengths and abilities and I enjoy how this guide gives so many
different perspectives.
The Nikon Coolpix
L120 Users Guide
I chose this guide for very obvious
reasons. Even though I have owned this
camera for almost 9 months now, I still have yet to finish the guide. I have a hard time learning just reading, I am
more of a, learn by doing kind of girl. I
have been concentrating on learning about landscape photography. I am going on a tiny road tip through Southern
Indiana this weekend and I can’t wait to use my new knowledge to
capture some great landscape shots!
