P.O.D.

So I love this band. Especially in love with this song and music video. What do you think? Good night all.


Breakfast is Important

It is very important and I need to start eating better so I decided to share my smoothie recipe with all of you. It is really easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

  • Milk
  • Frozen Fruit
  • Microwave
  • Blender
  • Ice
  • Sugar

STEP ONE:

Get your bags of frozen fruit and place in bowl. I microwave it for 45 seconds.



STEP TWO:

Once microwaved place int the blender. Put in some milk and a dash of sugar. I place some ice-cubes in mine so that it stays cold.


STEP THREE:

Place in blender and blend. Then enjoy. It's really easy and really delicious and can be done with your favorite fruits.

DSLR Camera Tutorial (ISO)

Today we will be talking about ISO which is the camera's sensitivity to light. A high ISO means lots of light coming into the camera and a low ISO means very little. For example when I'm taking pictures outside I use an ISO usually of 400. I do this because I know when I use film 400 is a good speed of film to have. The same is for a digital you just get a whole lot more range more easily. If I'm taking a picture where I want the background to be totally black but the subjects to be showing I'll use a ISO of 3200 or so. You really just have to play around with it and see how it works with different settings but once you master when and how to use the ISO properly your pictures will be amazing after all the other things you've learned from these tutorials.

Homework:
Play around with all the ISO measurements and take 5 pictures that you feel are good with each one.

Next Week:
Learning how to use the exposure triangle together. (Shutter Speed, ISO, and Aperture)

Last Weeks Homework (Aperture):

Pumpkin Decorating

It's my favorite time of year. Fall. Halloween. My birthday. All these things are amazing. And I got to decorate my first pumpkin yesterday. I don't have a picture of the finished project but here are some steps to it. I hope this inspires someone =D

Oh and by the way the watercolors that I tried to use didn't really work out. And I didn't get to use the white paint cause it was all chunky.
