Lessons from an Amatuer Photographer

I have yet to take a photography class and here I am taking photos for news sites. I thought it's about time to record my progress with photography and see if I improve!

out with the old, in with the new.

So I've decided to end my photography blog and start up a new one - cooking. Specifically my favorite recipes as taught to me by those that make them the best. Arrivederci, adieu, adios, bye.

Do you at least know the difference between shutter speed and ISO? I found out shooting candle light vigil that high shutter speed and low ISO yields fairly decent results, even better if you use a tripod

using a tripod always helps! As for shutter speed and ISO...my method has always been playing with the buttons until the image looks good.
