My friend Lindsay has been participating in these photography classes where she completes a new assignment every week and posts it on her blog. I thought I would follow suite, although I am a few weeks behind. I am using my Sony a200 DSLR to take all pictures in this course.
The week one assignment taught about the aperture, and how it relates to the amount of light in a picture. Basically, a high f-stop means that little light comes into the picture and vice versa. The lower the aperture, the more in focus the whole picture. Using a low f-stop (which is the same as a high aperture) leads to an in focus subject and a blurred background.
When I completed this assignment, it took a little practice to compose the pictures so that you could see the difference in the background details. Here is what I ended up with.

f-stop 22

f-stop 8

f-stop 5.6 (the lowest I can go with this lens at this zoom)
Awesome!!!! I have been loving the lessons! Hope you have fun with them! Great pictures!
