Learning how to use your new DSLR camera can be very exciting, but very frustrating when your shots are turning out too dark or too light. When using the creative modes on your camera (P, Av, or TV), you have access to exposure compensation and that will help you adjust how light or dark your photo is without needing to worry about the other settings on your camera. Check out the video below to better understand.

Idaho International Dance and Music Festival

Every summer, in Rexburg, Idaho, the chamber of commerce brings together one of the country's premier festivals! With dance teams from all over the world, it is a week full of talent, culture, laughs, and memories that will keep you coming back for more and more. However, there is a lot that goes into making such an event possible and Donna Benfield, Executive Director, talks about it.

I have worked with Donna and the Chamber of Commerce on the Dance Festival as the Graphic Designer for the Event and Key Photographer. There is always a lot that goes into making this event possible that a lot of people just don't know about. My idea for this story came from the fact that people should know so they can build a stronger appreciation for it when they come.

Rough Cut - Story 1

This is my rough cut! I have photos already that I took from the festival and I am waiting on some video clips from the gala performances that I want to include in there a couple times as well. But, getting the photos in there with audio and video transitions was probably the most time consuming part of the whole thing.

Through My Lens
Why do we take photos? The ability to capture a moment in time is readily available with the array of camera phones we all carry! We share them through Facebook, we tweet them, we email them, we print them, we cherish them. We each have a reason and mine is to share what I saw. To let you take part, in my creativity, of that moment when the shutter clicked.
We all take a part in history with what comes through our lens. What story are you going to share?
