Camera Club for Commencers…people, get in here
Posted under Camera Club
Random photo choice for this post, I just like it…Diggy with Bertie’s new chainsaw, he LOVES it. It’s surprisingly authentic in terms of the noise and motion of it. Which make it all the more alarming when he trots up to you and says, “I’m going to cut you small…[cuts nearest limb]….THERE Y’ARE!”.
Right, next edition of CCC is coming later today. I have a few questions lurking from previous posts, so I’ll tackle those, chuck in a few QuickTips and I also have a few more online photography resources to share.
Coming later in the week…a guest post on the Holy Trinity or, as I grandly like to call it, the Veritable Triumvirate of exposure…(1) aperture, (2) shutter speed and (3) ISO. I gave an impromptu tutorial on these Three Graces during Blog Camp 2.0 but I’ve decided to bring out the big guns for a blog post on this meaty topic. I’m delighted that Robin of Bird Tweets didn’t mind me getting her in a headlock and forcing her to agree to guest blog for us, hoorah. While we wait for her post, get over to her blog and salivate at her gorgeous shots.
So, last chance, any more questions? Shout now and I’ll answer them later today.
Over and out snappers! x


Can’t wait for the Holy Trinity–I can never have enough of apertures, shutter speeds and ISO :D
I would love to hear Diggy and Bertie’s cute little British accents. We just don’t have enough of that with our kids here.
What is this destructive, bloodthirsty urge that all boys seem to be born with? (LOVE that picture)
Looking forward to more tips . . .
are you going to talk about my low lighting issues?
ooohhh can’t wait… an eager student ready for my lesson ;)
Boys and their toys.
And waiting. Patiently. For more photo posts.
I’m going to cut you small? Perhaps you should rethink the whole chain saw thing! He he!
I’m catching up on a whole lot of posts here, and so much goodness to take in. Great photo tips – and have you just gotten back from Copenhagen? I visited Creme de la Creme a la Edgar and have been meaning to post about it. xx
WHAhhh! Who gave the chainsaw as a gift? What a riot! What a boy toy…I’m sure they love love love it. Thanks for sending me to Robins site. My digital art hobby just got a jumpstart! Yippie. Look forward to the CCC post.
Yay! more camera club! i LOVE camera club posts!
i still can’t think of any questions though …
no matter, you seem to already know all the tips and tricks that i don’t know i need to know but can’t beleive i lived without before… it’s rather impressive!
I am so lazy I can’t pick up my manual and don’t know how to do the self timer… sorry… this is lame I know… don’t even answer, I’ll go check the freakin’ manual. skulks off and kicks random object in disgust.
i look forward to reading what you have to say about the holy trinity. I have been studying hard recently and am starting to get the hang of it. I still only ever use AV or TV mode though – are there major benefits to be had from going fully manual…? And are there any good tips for getting the ‘balance’ right? Cheers!
seriously…”I’m going to cut you small” is one of the best things I’ve heard all month. brilliant!
