Your First Exciting Steps Into Understanding Metering and Exposure https://petapixel.com/2025/08/09/your-first-exciting-steps-into-understanding-metering-and-exposure/ #shutterspeed #Educational #Tutorials #apertutre #exposure #metering #iso

What am I doing? I don’t know. I feel like the universe is in a weird place right now (yes, I know that mathematically that sentence does not make sense). I don’t know.

I had the opportunity to play my guitar tonight and I sat on my ass on the couch watching TV. I watched an episode of Torchwood. I’m trying to get back into that. While I was on the AppleTV app formerly known as HBO Max I figured I’d maybe start watching The Leftovers again. I watched the first episode. I’ll go to my grave saying that the second season of that show is television perfection. The first and third seasons are great too. The first season is just so soul crushingly depressing though. It is tough to get through and I suspect that watching one episode is part of the reason why I feel like I am in a screwy state of mind right now.

The point of all of this though is that I could have played guitar tonight and I did not. Ugh.

I had two slices of a small pizza for dinner tonight. The second one came back for another view. Oh yeah, TMI Alert here. Yeah. It went down, but it didn’t stay down. Shit. I ate too much too fast and paid the price.

I’m on the youtubes right now watching a photography channel. It’s a pro photographer telling me I should use Aperture Priority instead of Manual Mode. But what if I want to use Manual Mode? I use Aperture Priority a lot with one of my film cameras. The term Aperture Priority wasn’t invented yet when the camera was built, it’s called Auto on the camera, but it’s the same thing.. I use it because the light meter inside the view finder is often hard to read. I like using Manual though. It makes me feel like I know what I am doing even though I don’t really know what I’m doing. The video also says to keep the aperture away from the extremes. Don’t use f2.0 or f16, use f5.6 or f8. You don’t get the blurry background as much as you do with f2, but you get some which is more than f16 gives. The video says the images will be clearer in the middle ground apertures. I think I had figured that one out on my own and was starting to come around to this way of thinking. Then again… I really dig all that blurry background.

Miss Robin Sparkles says hello.

It’s Monday night, just about bed time. Almost 10:00pm. At this time four days from now we’ll be about seven hours into our road trip to Florida. That’s the main reason why I am in such a weird headspace tonight. I just want to go. I want to leave now. I don’t want to worry about work or anything outside of travel. I just want to go. I have a shit load of stuff to do before we go, but I just want to go.

Ugh… I should just go to bed.

Looking ahead to tomorrow. There is likely going to be an NHL predictions post for the third round. I am hoping the Edmonton Oilers will win their game seven tonight against Vancouver. If that happens there will be exactly one team that I kinda like in the Conference Finals. If they lose, there will be three teams I hate one one team I don’t care about. My heart is officially no longer in the NHL playoffs at all.

Also, expect lots of posts where I talk about how I just want to jump in the car with Jen, my wife, and head out on our trip. I have vacation-itis right now. Big time.

Looking at the way photographers photograph moving water is quite interesting. In order to give the impression of rapid, gushing motion, the exposure should be longer and so, rather than photographing in #AutomaticMode, it is better to use #ShutterPriority and adjust #ShutterSpeed to achieve the desired effect.

Here the shutter speed in automatic mode is 1/100 s.

2023 Photo Challenge 110/365

This was a fun shot but hard to get. I had a set up where the bag was dripping, light was in the back, tupperware everywhere. Water splashing all over. But I would like to try it again with a more stable structure and better water controlling. #water #shutterspeed #macro #macrophotography #shutterspeedphotography #photoexperiement #2023photochallenge

The term #ghost #train is used for a service run empty in order to hold onto the rights for the journey. But are they called that to disguise discussions of stranger things travelling on the rails?

The first is with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/6 s. The lit part of the Moon is a white featureless blob but, because it’s a #misty #night, there’s a wonderful #ice #halo which shows #colours from the #VisibleSpectrum. You can see Jupiter directly above.

Tonight, the #Moon is right in the body of the #constellation #Virgo in its #Waxing #Gibbous #Phase. I think its another nicely detailed #photograph of the #lunar surface and you can really make out quite a lot of features on this #cropped #image. #ISO 250, F5.7, #ShutterSpeed: 1/800 s and #FullZoom

Today the #Moon is between #Leo and #Virgo and has just past its #FirstQuarter #phase. #ShutterSpeed: 1/160 s, F5.7, #ISO 250.

I took this #photograph of the #Moon at #dusk this evening in the #southern #sky. Although the sky appears black, it still had colour but I shot it in #ManualMode with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/1250 s and F5.6 with an #ISO of 250. This is the first of what I would call a successful attempt at #LunarPhotography by me. The images are identical but with different degrees of #image #cropping, without enlarging the image.
