Going to the County Fair!

A couple of months ago Carol and I were asked to teach a class at the Alameda County Fair. Of course, we enthusiastically said yes! Our class is coming up in just under 2 weeks and preparations are preparing. 🙂

Our class, Digital Photography, could be taught with any number of photos we already have on our hard drives. But wouldn’t it be way more fun to hit every single fair possible before class and use those photos instead? Yes!

I’ve been to 2 fairs so far, Contra Costa and San Mateo. A pre-class trip the the Alameda fair will be my third and a post-class road trip to the Mid-State fair should nicely round out the summer.

Here’s some of interesting stuff so far:

– Depth of Field

   

– Shutter Speed

  

– ISO Noise

  

– White Balance

 

– Exposure Compensation

 

– Composition: Leading Lines

– Composition: Rule of Thirds

 

-Light

 

– Night Photography

 

– Long Exposure Portrait

  

– Misc Other Stuff

Yay for fairs and piggies and Americana and hot hot summer entertainment!
