I've taken one and a half classes before, both aimed at available light photography. So this course, where we are creating the light we want, will be a whole different beast. I'm stoked. Over the next six weeks, I will post the photos I've taken for the course and a few epiphanies from each class.
Note: these pictures will be raw, unedited, and sometimes under or over exposed - purposely. They may also suck. Be cool.
Class One:

| the forehead circle was for metering purposes |
- The theme of this course is: Absolutely no compromise (equipment and space willing), if you're compromising there is a gap in your knowledge
- Learn apertures! 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 45, 64, 90, 128, 180
- In this course we will always use the ISO at 100 and the shutter speed at my camera's sync speed - 200. Is this normal for all studio photographers or just for this class?
- Learn apertures! 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 16, 22, 32, 45, 64, 90, 128, 180
- Our focus is Aperture (1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 45, 64, 90, 128, 180) and Intensity (light) (1/1, 1/2, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256)
I'm pretty excited about this class - I have been really having fun with my camera and my nifty 50 lens but I tend to get hung up on the settings. I always forget about the aperture and only change the shutter speed and ISO. Now, the aperture is all I can play with so it will be a good lesson in remembering that I can adjust it and capture a completely different image!
