Those who follow me https://www.davidhoodphotography.com/phototut/ probably know that I get great satisfaction from sharing my love of digital photography with others. Randy, a new Lessons.com client, will soon be attending an extended family event and wanted to capture candid shots. He has a new Canon R6 camera with a 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and a 24-105mm f/4L lens; he doesn’t yet have any flash equipment. So in our 2nd lesson this week, we worked on techniques to prepare him for “run and gun” photography indoors and outdoors and using existing light to maximum advantage, minimum shutter speed and aperture settings, and appropriate metering and focus modes. I served as his model, and Randy took several photos applying and practicing these techniques under various lighting conditions in our backyard. I’m proud of Randy’s camera craft, and thankful that he allowed me to use these photos with our dear family Labradoodle, Shadow. In dog years Shadow is 13 years older than me, and too soon these photos will serve as memories for the 12 plus years that he’s been a part of our family. Randy’s camera setting were shutter 1/60th second, aperture f/5.6, and ISO 200 and 400 for the 2 photos respectively.
