Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

My name is Nicola Cooper and I am taking the photography diploma with tutor Rona Cox.
\nMy husband noted that I had been a little glum of late….I had moved to West Wales, away from family and friends and I have just given birth to two little twins so I was exhausted. He wanted to give me something to get excited about and he noticed that I had quite a knack of taking good shots with my mobile phone – so he kindly bought me a DSLR. As soon as I had the camera in my hands I knew this was for me – however, I had never held a real camera before, and I was dumbfounded by all the buttons. Thankfully, digital cameras these days are so easy to use and with the help of Rona and the course material, I slowly started\u00a0getting\u00a0my head around creative settings. It must have been fate or something, because just as he bought me the camera the course at LAC was introduced !! spooky !<\/p>\n

The picture featured on this blog was taken this morning on a walk with my family. One of the most wonderful things about living in West Wales, is that I am never short of material! There was an adorable little cottage along the side of a dirt track and although it was rather unkempt, it had some wonderful little flowers in the garden. I used my birthday lens to take the shot, the lighting was good, so all I needed to do was to decided on what creative look I wanted to achieve and to set the camera accordingly. My birthday lens is a NIKON portrait lens so it can achieve amazing shallow field. It\u00a0didn’t\u00a0want it totally blurry, there needed to be some depth, so I set my aperture fairly wide. By having a wide aperture I was able to create this lovely soft effect which I believe compliments the gentle fragility of the flowers. I was careful to frame the shot well and I had to keep a steady hand……one things I have noticed, is that when I use wide apertures, the camera will pick up movement. Ideally I should have used a tripod, but I think we had walked 4 miles or so, so there was no way I was going back.<\/p>\n

I was really pleased with the result, its so encouraging when you finally “nail it”. I am my own worst critic, (as I am certain many of you will relate to that !!), but FINALLY, I had a shot that I felt\u00a0didn’t\u00a0need cropping or retouching.\u00a0YIPPEE.<\/p>\n

The wonderful thing about photography is that it can be so spontaneous – you see something, the light is perfect and SNAP, there it goes. A\u00a0moment\u00a0in time, never to be recreated. In my opinion, it just\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0get any better then that !!!!<\/p>\n
