Photography Classes
I know several of you out there have been asking me when my next set of Photography Classes will be. Summer School Adventure Photography for the kids is just wrapping up, so that will make room for the adult classes.
Photography Adventure Session 1 - Sept. 5-19. Wednesday Evenings 5:30-8:30 pm.
Photography Adventure Session 2 - Sept. 26- Oct. 10. Wednesday Evenings 5:30-8:30 pm.
These classes have no requirement other than a CAMERA! Anyone, of any age, knowledge, skill level, camera type or cost may join these classes.
You may attend one or both sessions.
Each class is a fieldtrip to a new location!
We spend the first 20 minutes in learning one compostion technique and one camera function. The next hour and 20 minutes is hands-on work time, out shooting in the field. The class finishes up with either a pic-nic or by visiting a local establishment for refreshments, where we review images and discuss whats working and what is not. Everyone learns from everyone else and time just seems to FLY BY.
We have so much fun in these classes, you will be sad you missed out if you don't sign up!

Have you ever wished you had a scanner that could copy your entire wall - just the way it is - without ever removing a photo frame or anything in them? Want to copy a quilt? Scrapbook images of medals, merits, awards and youth art into a standard scrapbook without hassle? If so, then you are going to LOVE this! Click on the Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner icon and learn about the Flip-Pal Scanner. It is the most amazing scanner I have ever seen. It stiches, it flips and flops, it crops, it slices and dices and does everything you wish your scanner would do and more. It's so EASY and VERSITILE you will wonder what the world did before these existed!!

What the heck is ISO?
Are you confused about the ISO button on your camera?
ISO simply stands for International Standards Organization... yes, even on your camera, that's what it means. So basically it is referring to the fact that whatever it does - it does it so that everyone all around the world will do it the same way.
In the days of film cameras, ISO (also called ASA and DIN back then - which meant American Standards Association and DIN was German for the same thing in Germany) referred to the speed of your film. Film Speed allowed you to get better results in differnt lighting conditions. It controlled how sensitive the film was to light.
In our now digital world, it does very much the same job, just not the same exact way. So what DOES it do, you ask? It allows your camera to adapt to bright sun and dark of night so that it can still come up with an evenly lit exposure.
ISO numbers can range anywhere from 25 (usually named ISO LOW #1) to as high as 25,000 (referred to HIGH #2 and only found the most expensive cameras).
How to use it:
Photography is all about opposites; the lower numbers are for use with more light - bright sunny days on snow or frozen lakes are great for the lowest of your ISO numbers, and dark places will require the higher numbers.
It seems simple enough but there is a catch. The higher ISO numbers will have some quality loss in the form of pixels. Some cameras handle this better than others, but the trick is to use the lowest ISO number you can get away with and still have a decent exposure.
If you have never bothered to use it before, I suggest you play with it and find out how it can help your images. Just remember that you will have to take it off of AUTO to be able to adjust it. PROGRAM should allow you to change your ISO among other things. Happy Shooting!

A word about Frogs
Frogs are such a wonderful and important part of our eco-system that when researchers need to check the quality of life in a certain area, the first thing they will check is the frog population. The unique thing about frogs is that they live both on land and in the water, therefore, a healthy frog population will indicate a healthy eco-system. Mutant frogs and a weak population will indicate toxins and other problems that will eventually affect all of us.

A quick photography tip for point n shoot cameras!
Learn how to turn your flash off... then do so. Most of the cameras today work better without a flash. If you are shooting in the green mode or the full auto, the camera will not allow you to turn it off. It will pick and choose when you are allowed to use the flash. If you put it in the "P" mode (Program), however, you will be able to make a few changes while still giving most of the control to the camera. In Program, you can turn your flash on and off when you want to. This isn't to say that you will never need a flash, but my suggestion is to try it without first, and then, if needed, add it back in to the mix. Happy shooting :D
