One of the most often used words in the language of photography is “Exposure”. Technically, exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the imaging sensor while you’re making your photograph (or, for those of us over 20-something who remember when everything wasn’t digital, replace “imaging sensor” with “film plane”). Most commonly, however, when we use the term “exposure” were using it to describe a certain visual aspect of a photo. Overexposure and Underexposure For example, you have probably seen the terms “Overexposed” and “Underexposed”...

It was a slow photographic week for me so, to make up for the lack of new photos, I have a few shots from the past that were all taken at my Alma Mater – the home of Buckeye Country, The Ohio State University. 🙂 I’ve got to say, I didn’t get very far into my photo archive when I realized I have tons more OSU photos that I want to share so, after today’s Photos of the Week, expect some more Photos of the Day featuring Ohio State University subjects. Now, on to this week’s photos… People say you should save the best for last but I’m not going to do that today. This first photograph is one of...

posted by CEGPhoto
Welcome to my first ever Photos of the Week post! The focus for this week is one of the favorite subjects for many photographers (myself included), flowers. All of these photos were taken within the past week to ten days with my trusty old Pentax *ist DS. Yes, its the same Pentax *ist DS that got soaked during the trip to Orlando a couple years ago. It may have lost its ability to auto-focus but it still takes great photos, works with all my lenses and just keeps going. So, on to the photos… The first one, the yellow rose, was taken a couple weekends ago at the Whetstone Park of Roses annual Rose Festival. That was actually...
