Kick Your Photography Up a Notch, Part III
By Kristine Neeley, Photography Contributor Ok, so we’ve covered ISO and shutter speed. What’s left, you might ask? Aperature. Aper-a-what?! Let’s take a look. Aperture Ladies, this is the stuff my dreams are made of, and Iʼm being totally serious. Aperture is the sort of thing that for me, makes a photo a photo. It enables your camera to tell a story, sometimes, without even saying anything at all. Itʼs what determines the level of detail and the ultimate... Read More
Kick Your Photography Up a Notch, Part II

It’s this time of year when I really appreciate plants for... Read More
