Photographs

It has come to my attention that there may be some confusion as to where I am getting the photos for my blog.  Unless otherwise stated, they are all my photographs.  When I have taken images off the web, like for the post about the Vatican, then I include a “sources” list at the bottom of the post.  I even try to give acknowledgment if I have taken the photos from my father or brother! 

I have also started to turn off the automatic setting on my camera so that I will learn how to take better photos.  I am trying to play with the exposure, the ISO, and everything else that I can manipulate.  This creates some dilemmas, like which setting should I be changing and when?  Normally I would ask my father, but he is in Vancouver and I am in Israel… so it is difficult to ask for specific advice as I am taking each photo.  As well, I have been focusing on the composition of each photograph, trying to make each one balanced and interesting.  Sometimes these endeavours work and sometimes they don’t, as you can probably tell.
