So Brad and I went for a day of pictures, food, and driving.<\/p>\n
The day started as days should – around 10. I picked Brad up in his Freemont-ish area house, and drove back to West Seattle for breakfast at Avalon. Breakfast was, as it always is there, awesome. After breakfast, Brad and I headed to West Seattle’s Hamilton View Point park. Many pictures were taken, there was a lot of Blue in those photos, and it was time for us to try to head to Federal Way to get Kasey Keller to sign something.<\/p>\n
Kasey had a bulldog who told us the line ride was full, and to piss off. I hope Kasey finds out how many children that guy turned away and beats the man over the head with a stick.<\/p>\n
Back to West Seattle we drove, stopping for a couple hours in Jack Block park, to take a ton more pictures.<\/p>\n
All in all, it was quite a nice picture day, and once again I got the patent-worthy Brad Walkthrough of Cameras.<\/p>\n
Notes from the day:
\nAperture controls how much light is getting in (together with Shutter speed), which in turn defines the focal plane.<\/p>\n
If your shutter is slow, you gather more light. If your aperture is wide, you also gather more light – within allowance of the shutter speed.<\/p>\n
And that annoying F number is your aperture, and the bigger it is, the narrower the aperture. Narrow aperture = less light.<\/p>\n
It’s all very complex, but it helped me open up the camera to take some nice shots, and the day was, all in all, a success.<\/p>\n
