Closeup and Faraway Random Artsy Photos
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
Today, I wanted to show you some photos I took a bit of a long time ago.
They had been originally posted in my Blogger website.
Since my blogger went the way of the dinosaur, I figured I would post it in my Artsy Sister website.
Without any more introductions, I wanted to show you some closeup photos that I took.
When I was in Florida International University, I took a photography class as part of my Journalism Major.
Such a class wasn’t required for my major.
Still, I figured that a journalist should learn the basics of photography.
Anyhow, that class taught me everything I needed to know about me and my camera.
The teacher also taught me how to print photographs. For Museums, they prefer to have printed photographs on display.
With everything going digital, printed photos have gone a bit out of fashion. It is nice that Polaroids are making a comeback among certain circles.
In the old days, I used to just set the camera on automatic.
After I finished the class, I learned about focal point, aperture, shutter speed and many other useful skills.
This now brings me to my Closeup project. Most folks just take photos of items from far away.
If you bother to get up close, you get to see a lot of cool amassing details. It is all about having the courage to step out of your comfort zone.
Never be afraid to experiment. I tried to do closeups of items that I had available at home.
Most of these photos were taken in my old Hialeah apartment. I think overall, it was a good camera exercise.
I hope you like these olds photos that I took. Hopefully, they are new to you. I also added some faraway stuff or whatever.
It is just a photo blog, with no real theme. Enjoy. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
