We made our way to the San Fernando Mission last weekend to attend the Latin Mass only to find out we were 3 years too late. lol. Unfortunately they haven't had one in a while, bummer. I would have really liked to experience it.
So we ended up taking pictures instead. I just have a few up that Babes took of me. I haven't gotten his approval to post my pics of him yet but I'll sneak a good one in so check back for updates.
I've realized after going through my pictures that I need UH LOT of practice still. I need to spend a full day or two just focusing on these points:
- Off-camera flash (indoor and outdoor) using SB-600 speedlight.
- Framing and composition, a quick video on it HERE. The rule of thirds is a great concept but applying it when I'm out shooting hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be. I wish my Nikon D40 had the option of using grid lines, like the D90 does.
- Getting the right exposure. I take way too much time finding the right exposure. Waay too much time; Babes almost fell asleep while I tried to get it to my liking.
I still love to reference Scott Kelby’s digital photography books every chance I get. Since it's helped me, I'll probably do a few posts on some of the techniques or tips I've picked up from the book. So yeah, I want to be a better pitcher-taker.
