f/22, 1/13 sec., ISO 1600 (should have set it lower, but oh well).

The Picture Project theme this week was Exposure, with a bit of depth of field thrown in for fun. In these first three pictures, I tried to show "good"/proper exposure (although it is a little dark), then underexposure, and finally overexposure. All three were shot with an aperture of f/22.

This is from a series of pictures I took for our weekly Picture Project.

More experimenting with apertures and (what I hoped would be) depth of field.

In the end, not quite what I was going for.

At the NCTE, I saw quite a few of my old Sykes coworkers, including my friend Angie. It happened to be her birthday, so I asked to take a few pictures of her. Very nice. Happy birthday, Angie!

Today was the first day of the NCTE (National Conference for Teachers of English) at the CCCN in San Pedro, San Jose. I liked the silhouetted look of people walking down this passage.

Our theme for our weekly photo project was "depth of field." I didn't quite know how to handle it, so throughout the week I took some "comparison" pictures using both small and large apertures.

This one wasn't actually a comparison, but most of the others are. This is just a swingset at the school where we work.
