Photo walk
August 13th
We have been looking for a good time and place for the next
photo walk. We think we have come up with real winner. If you remember the last
photo walk was the Botanical garden light show. We had a low turnout, because
of the weather? Well no weather excuse this time.
The photo walk will be the farmers market in Boise. There
are actually 2 farmers markets in Boise with two start times, one starts at
9:00 and the other starts at 9:30. I have been there several time and I find
time to easily go to both. The best photography is before they open for
business while they are setting up. I usually try to stop taking pictures when
they open for business because I do not want get in the way of their
livelihood.
Opportunities
Food photography
Homemade crafts
Homemade signs
People in action (the vendors have a ton of personality, but you have to bring
it out in them)
Recommend
My recommendation is camera, no tri-pod with a 50mm full frame or 35mm crop. But bring what you have.
Bring some different lenses to try.
The plan;
o Meet
at the corner of Grove and 11th at 8:15. For the Boise Farmers
Market
o At
9:00 or when you are done at the Boise Market, head over to Main and 8th
for the Capital City market. We can shoot there until 9:30 when it opens.
Photography question
I would like to know the differences of the four different light meter
modes and how they interact with exposure compensation and focus
points. Does the manual mode, aperture, iso and f stop
selections have an effect on the selected light meter readings?
Metering modes explained
