Cancer

My sister, being amazing as she is, shaved her head today because our grandmother was just recently diagnosed with agressive breast cancer and will start chemo next Wednesday. So I decided to take some portraits, these two are in digital but I will have film ones too.















































I really like how the sepia one turned out.



Also, I'm extremely frustrated with this whole self portrait thing but this is a digital one I took that has the same type of theme as the film ones. I really think that the film ones turned out horrible though.. but yea. here it is.

Shutter Speed. fun times.

Shutter speed controls how fast the shutter opens and exposes light to the sensor and film. The longer the shutter is open, the brighter the picture will be. The shorter the shutter is left open, the darker the picture will be. Shutter speed is noted in seconds such as 1/100, and 1/60. Also, you must take into consideration the speed of the object you are taking a picture of. The faster the object moves, the faster you have to make the shutter speed.
