One of the things that I am having a hard time with understanding in a applicable way is shutter speeds and f/stops and apertures. If I understand correctly, apertures and f/stops are the same thing. Anyways, I kind of get it when I am reading, but applying it is completely different. I learn best by doing. So in order to learn the differences in f/stops and shutter speeds, I am going to start recording them, and labeling them in my blogs. My goal is to learn (obviously) and hopefully be able to use them to my advantage creatively in the future.
Honestly, I wish I could afford to take a class or two. I have a friend that live near by me that are photographers, we have just recently started getting together about once a month to go on a "walkabout" with our cameras. He has been a photographer for many years. He is teaching me these aspects (or attempting too) I am having a hard time grasping. I am going to see about find a group or community close by...like a hiking club, but with cameras and tripods and the like. I know flickr has groups, but they are toward DC, I would like to find one a tad closer to me, even though I am not to far from DC. Mainly because I live just far enough away that there will be more times then not for to miss a "gathering" with the flickr group.
There is so much. Thank goodness I love to learn.
