week eleven.

 

Town Square. 

Eagle River Boys Varsity basketball game. 

Today was a very short meeting because we both have a lot of things going on at this moment.

This meeting was the time when I got to sit in Dan's chair and work the images on the computer. Dan wanted to give me the chance to tweak the pictures how I thought they should be. What looks good to me might not look as great to Dan. Photography is relative. Everyone sees everything differently and will like it or not. When I was working with Photoshop on Dan's computer, it was hard for me to choose what action to put on the picture because I wasn't familiar with what it does to the picture. So, it was a combined effort of both Dan and I. Maybe one of these days I'll do it all by myself. I could work with my Photoshop and become familiar with that too, instead of working with Dan's version of Photoshop. After we quickly looked at the pictures, Dan gave me his 85 mm lens to borrow to try to capture fast moving pictures. I plan to take A LOT of pictures this following weekend, so it's going to be great to have a different lens. The 85 mm has a lower aperture than my other lenses and it will allow me to push more light into the camera and getting a faster shutter speed to capture the speed.

I'm still loving my mentorship, and I feel sad to know that it's coming to a close. :(
