Curiosity Cultivates Creativity
I can’t help seeing a beautiful piece of artwork without studying it closer and asking “How did the artist achieve that?”. Fortunately, we live in a time when we can research almost anything we are curious about with technology. How lucky for us that we can find references almost instantly! Well, that’s probably why I’m still awake at 12:45 A.M. I am so excited about finally learning how to use more than the auto settings on my camera! All the exposure information seems so complicated but I’m starting to discover some fun shots to try thanks to some great resources from Pinterest, blogs & websites. Those dials on my camera that have been in a coma since the purchase date are beginning to awaken! One of the best sites I’ve found so far is Boostyourphotography.com . Go browse it and see if your curiosity turns you into a creative clicker too!
The photo above was taken of our Christmas tree. I was trying to capture bokeh which is the blurred background lights you see here. I used a Canon Rebel T5i Camera with a Macro lens (90mm F/2.8). The settings I used are as follows.
