Shoot Shop August class

August 14, 2014

learn to use your camera

We had another fun class this week and friends went from not knowing how to change their settings on their camera to understanding how the exposure triangle works!

I love teaching these classes. It’s so much fun to help people learn to do something they’ve always wanted to do but thought it was too complicated or too scary. It’s not! You can learn to use your camera too.

I keep the classes small so that we have plenty of time for questions and practice. I walk you through changing the settings on your camera until you can do it.

If you’ve spent the money on a nice camera and love taking pictures, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get the most out of it you can and learn how to use it properly.

I’d love to show you how.

Check out the Shoot Shop page and sign up to get the first notification about the next class. I’m planning to do another one in October. I’d love to see you there.

Tiny Tip Tuesday | Backing up iPhone photos

February 18, 2014

photo-tips

I use my iPhone so often to take everyday shots and it fills up quickly. I hate getting the message that my storage is full. Then I have to go through and decide which photos to delete or hook the phone up to the computer and download the images. But I finally found a way to save my photos without ever even having to think about it. I use a website called IFTTT.com (if then then that). It lets you create recipes for all kinds of things and makes your life so much easier.

You can set it up to save all your photos to a flickr account. Then your photos will be stored online whenever you need them. If you use Instagram, you can set up a recipe to save all your Instagram photos to your Dropbox account. You can even set it up to email you every photo you take with your iPhone. Although, if you take as many photos as I do you might want to set up a separate email account just for your photos.

You’ll never have to worry about deleting another photo again.

Check out ifttt.com and see what it can do for you.

Also, Alli (a friend of mine) wrote a post on her favorite ifttt recipes. You might find a few that make your life easier.

Tiny Tip Tuesday | Clearer closeups | Melissa Stover Photography

February 11, 2014

photo tips

You’re taking close-up shots of your favorite face, what’s the best way to get a sharp image?

1. Focus on the eye. Especially if you have a lens that allows you to blur the background (50mm f/1.8 is a great starter lens for that), you will need to watch where you focus. Some cameras will allow you to move your focal point so you can focus to one side while your subject is composed in the center of the frame. Tap the screen of your iPhone to focus on your subject.

2. Be still. Brace your arms to steady yourself as you take the shot.

3. Make sure you have good light.

Have fun getting shots of that adorable face!
