Sibling Tag with Matthew!

I finally got my younger brother Matthew to film a video with me, so we filmed the sibling tag! I do have an older brother as well, but he's not one for videos. I would also like to apologize for the poor video quality, I film with my HD camera and good lighting now! ENJOY! You can watch it here:

Photography Class

I started taking a photography class last week, so I just wanted to share with you some of the things i've learned.  First off, Aperture:

The higher the f/stop, the less it will blur the background.  The lower the f/stop, the more it will blur.  When you compare the backgrounds of the two photos above, you can see that the left photo (f/11) is less blurry than the right (f/5.6).  Personally, I prefer a low f/stop.

Here is an example of something to stay away from.  Notice how the tops of these cups are just touching that line going across the back.  That's called a point of tension and it's not very pleasing to the eye.  For more (and better) examples, click here.

I'll probably do a couple more of these posts in the future.  I hope this new month has been good to you!

[a super late valentines day post that you can save for next year]

I meant to post this on valentines day, but, since that didn't happen, i figured i would just post it now.  I made these really cute valentines (because you're never too old to give out valentines) and i wanted to share them with you all.  I found the idea here, but i wanted to design my own.  so here are my valentines especially for you: 
click here to print.  then, all you have to do is cut them out and tape on any candy of your choosing.  I guess you can just pin this for next year...

I hope you all had a lovely valentines day & week after!
