Weekly Blog Post #2 - How I learn about Photoshop and Photography

   During times of boredom and randomly scrolling through the internet, I've come across a Youtube channel/Website that has helped me improve my photography and digital arts. The website I've discovered is called "Phlearn". They teach techniques on both Photoshop and Photography. Unfortunately, they do not do hair tutorials, though i'm very jealous of the male instructor's hair, Aaron Nace.

  Being involved in the yearbook committee allows me to handle cameras very often for many events. Watching video tutorials from this channel has helped me think of how to handle cameras in certain situations and what settings to set them to. For example, setting a camera at a low ISO is best if the environment is well lit such as an outdoor sun, or using your own lights. Shooting a event such as football and setting the shutter speed high such as 1/3 of a second would be very bad. Your subject would appear extremely blury, unless you are panning your camera to give a motion blur effect. But usually, shooting fast subjects would result in the photographer shooting in low shutter speeds such at 1/400 of a second or lower to capture the best image in that duration of time.
