Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 46, Day 318, March 12, 2010, Pineapple

It was a cloudy dreary day, so I took the opportunity to take the second photo in my food challenge photo. I find the shapes of a pineapple very interesting.

Lessons Learned:

I think that color can sometimes distract from the shapes and textures. At first I was using black and white for this photo, but I think that sepia worked even better.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/15 sec, Aperture f/1.8, ISO 100, Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 82mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, tripod.
