The Quilt Photography Workshop~


My camera takes wonderful pictures.
I set it on auto, point, shoot,
and usually I am lucky to have a good one!

But.....
I really want to learn to take better pictures,
with a little more control of how they turn out.

Plum and June

So, I am working on a little bit each month...

August's theme:  Fabric ~

I chose to take them outside near a friend's flowers.
All are the same 55mm lens and 100 ISO.  
The clouds kept alternating with sunshine, which changed things a bit.


All Auto f/5.6 1/125 sec
Then I tried the camera in manual options with auto focus..

f/3.2 1/320
fading out with too much exposure

f/2.5 1/400
even more faded..


f/4 1/125
Better?

Up close f/2.8 1/250

 f/2.8 1/250
Added a little manual focus here..


A view from the top f/5.6 1/125

These fabrics are all from IKEA.  
I had no idea they had such fun ones!
Still need to work on the shooting though.

Twenty-one photos.....
