Photography Word Wednesday

This week’s photography word is:

Overexposed – giving more than normal exposure when making the photograph. This will cause the detail in the highlights of the image to be lost.

Motivation Monday

by Ken Worley

This weeks motivation is from the snow we received on Christmas Day. It’s not very often that we have the chance to photograph snow at our house.

I met Ernie because he had a lens for sell on Craigslist, this photograph was made using that lens. Photography is a hobby of his and he ended up, as we all do at times, with a lens that he really didn’t use. The lens just happen to be one that Jamie had mentioned she would like to have, so it workout well for everyone involved.

Thanks Ernie for being a Friday Friend.

This week’s photography words are:

Spot Metering – only a small part of the scene is metered. Depending on the camera that spot will be either the center or the same point that is selected as the auto-focus point. Unlike Center-weighted metering, Spot metering ignores the rest of the frame when metering for the correct exposure. This type of metering is useful when there is a bright background.

This week’s Motivation Monday photograph is the one we used for our Christmas cards. Since I don’t have the address of everyone that visits my blog, this Christmas card is for you.

May each new day bring fresh
appreciation of “every good & perfect
gift” from the Father.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
from Brandon, Lindsey, Kathryn, Jamie, Ken — and Lacy!

Friend Friday

Meet Angie.

Angie is a dance instructor and choreographer at a local dance academy. I hope one day she will let me photograph her doing on of those amazing ballet leaps. Angie is also recently engaged. Her fiance ask her in front a waterfall while hiking, stack one up for cool points. Who knows, maybe we’ll see the two of them over at Worley Arts Photography one day.

Thanks Angie

This week’s photography words are:

Center-weighted Metering – Like Matrix metering, Center-weighted also evaluates the entire scene, but put its emphasis on the center of the frame. This type of metering works well for portrait photography.

It can be challenging at time to photograph a family with small children. This photo was a pretty easy even with six children under the age of six; that’s because Jamie was behind me acting a little goofy. I’m sorry I couldn’t see what she was doing, maybe next time I’ll setup a video camera pointed at us.

The best part of this photo was being available to do a last minute family session for a friend when her family came to town for a short visit.

Friend Friday

This week’s friend is the brother of a good friend. Meet Shawn; he graduates from college tomorrow so his family came down to celebrate. They called us to go over and make a quick family portrait, and it was quick. In less than eleven minutes, we made a photograph of six adults and six little ones under the age of six.

Thanks Shawn and congratulation.

This week’s words are:

Matrix or Evaluative Metering – evaluates the entire scene by splitting it into zones and metering them individually using a special algorithm; to get the correct exposure for the scene.
