Let’s get to know your camera, okay?
This Friday’s theme…Take me off AUTO!
1. Macro: take a picture of something ‘close up’. Don’t use your zoom, make sure you have good lighting and make sure you’re steady. If you have to, set your camera down on something and then take the picture.
2. NO FLASH: try swiching the flash off and taking pictures of your stuff without it. It may take a lot of pictures to get the right shot, but open the windows and find artifical light to get it to work.
3. Perspective: get up high or down low…either way, change the perspective of your picture..tilt the camera sideways. Change the layout of the picture. Instead of having the subject framed perfectly in the middle of the picture…move it to the left or the right.
You all hate it when I make you think of out of the box. This is one of those weeks you’re going to hate me, but it’s really not that hard. Find your favorite subject and follow the rules.

YAY! This is going to be FUN!!!
Woo hoo… I need to be doing this anyway… got the one I got so that I’d learn more about it and I’ve done little with the options outside of all the presets :) I’ll see what I can do. :)
yeah this would be a lot more fun if I had a BAMF. But I will definitely play!
Damn. That’s a hard one! I’ll get working on it!
Oh, gah, Mom!
You’re going to see a lot of crappy pictures (at least from me) this week, I can tell!
Crap, I don’t even know how to turn off the flash on my camera! Off to try to find the instruction manual!
The computer gremlins are messing with your blog. Ack! It’s coming up as text on a white background.

Very STRANGE! It’s back to normal.
I MUST get me a digital SOON.

This sounds fun – can’t wait to play – now to find the right subject…hmmmmmm
Oh man, I so want to play, but I don’t know if I can!
I’m going to try though, oh yes…I will try.
but I always use the rule of 3s in photography and most of my stuff isn’t dead center…. hrrmmm…. k I think I know what I can do
You’re fired. *sigh*
Sounds like you need to do a camera 101 class before this starts.
You gonna have some ugly ass pictures.
Oohh…I just thought of something good. But, it’s outside and it’s pouring buckets right now. Let’s hope it stops briefly later so I can get my pics.
Okay I’m slow, but these are supposed to be three versions of the same object right? right? Or did I miss read the directions, because I’m really good at misreading directions.
No, You can take 3 different pictures if you want to or you could do the same picture with 3 different options…it doesn’t matter. The object of this weeks SPF is to just turn off the auto settings and play with your camera.
You don’t need a BAMF to do this. I don’t have one. Most point & shoot cameras have a macro and an option to turn off the flash.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This is hard.
Can I get a “by”? (is that how you spell that? like you know…in sports…)
No, TKW, you may not.
KRISTINE, my macro shot keeps coming out looking like ASS. DAMNIT!!!! I will shoot until I get it GOOD, damnit. DAMNIT! I won’t eat until I get it right.
Hurt you more, my ass.
SWEET! This time I’m gonna play!
TKW – it is bye …. just by the way. ;)
I actually had fun when I did it …
