Image above captured with tripod and Canon Mark iii 5D and 10 second timer. When capturing a self portrait it’s important to have an entire scene set up in a way that you can easily exit and re-enter the frame when using a timer. A remote clicker is even better as it allows you to continue to shoot without exiting the scene, just know your hand holding the clicker may be visible and therefore should be hidden or discreet if desired.

Acorns - This app is great for setting aside money automatically into your 401K, you can choose the amount.

Introduction to the Exposure Triangle The Exposure Triangle is the three working elements of a developed film frame/digital image. These three components work together to capture light and document that data in a way that allows us to view the image in accurate color and brightness. The first component is ISO.

If it’s a low number it is less sensitive so 100-200 is slow, and least sensitive, you use this when the ..read more
