Longboat Key, Florida: Beach, Ocean, & Sky
November 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
This photo was taken at a beach on an island named Longboat Key in Florida a couple of weeks ago. I lost the settings I took it with but it must have been a very fast shutter speed as it was very bright and I know ISO was 100.

Candle Flame
July 11, 2008 | 4 Comments
Hi. This isn’t Lorrie - It’s Josh, her fiance. I’m also interested in photography so I may be posting some on this blog as well. My first post is for two pictures I took today of a candle we had lit in the living room today.
The idea behind the first picture was to capture the dance of the flame. The second was taken later in the day when it was darker. I noticed this wild shadow that was being created by the flame and the empty soda bottle…
These photos were taken with the Canon Digital Rebel.
Candle Flame
Shutter: 1/25
F-Stop: 4.0
ISO: 1600
Candle Flame Shadow
Shutter: 1/60
F-Stop: 4.0
ISO: 1600
The 1600 ISO was because it was pretty dark and I didn’t want to use the flash of course as that would wash out the flame / shadow I was trying to capture. I also didn’t want a blurry image so I couldn’t make up for the lack of light with a slow shutter speed. I didn’t have a tripod handy but that would make for an interesting shot perhaps - with a slow shutter speed on a lower ISO.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” -Aaron Siskind
