In the dark?
That's right all, its time for some good old fashion lowlight/night photography. I mean, basically the same thing, except that low light doesn't necessarily have to be at night. I mean for example, I did today's random photo shoot in my room at 8a.m. I mean talk about bright outside, but see I have these fantastic curtains that make it look like its constantly 2a.m. no matter what time of day it is. Glorious! Sooooo, all the lights off except a candle and then POW! Photo shoot galore. For the record though, this one is the only one that didn't come out fuzzy, sooo that leads us to lesson one about our low lighted friend.
A short a simple learning, GET A TRIPOD! Yup, and we are talking about a person who doesn't even own one herself telling the rest of the world to get one. Well, no necessarily true, I use something similar, I set the timer on the camera and set it down on this small stool that belongs to my sister. Works like a charm except on angled shots, at that point once again, use your timer because pressing the button causes a hand shake, timers gives you time to hold the camera as still as possible. Otherwise you end up with something that reminds you of the 'Blair Witch Project.'
There are several different approaches to low light photography but this one coincides with the tripod. For those of us stubborn people, well... just pick an unmoving object for your picture and set the camera down on something sturdy, problem solved and more over! Its the reason why most low light photos are done of landscapes and buildings. Not likely those are going to get up and traipse around the house if you are feeling artsy.
Soooo, for the days project, get rid of those shakey hands and turn them in for a beautiful new little tripod or handy stool to carry around with you. Fun, fun.

P.S. Tomorrow we'll work on those technical things, but today I wanted to see just how well we can do with the raw talent. ^.^ Best of LUCK!
