Top Ten Photos of 2020

January 1, 2021December 31, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 21 Comments

Last year (it sounds so good to be able to say of 2020, "that was last year"), I completed my second Photo 365 challenge. And yes, I know it should have been a Photo 366, as 2020 was a leap year but I accidentally skipped August 24th. The good news is that I still completed … Continue reading Top Ten Photos of 2020

Sunday Sum Up, September 1, 2019

September 1, 2019September 1, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 4 Comments

September at last! I'm wishing this summer and its heat good riddance. The weather has been wonderful lately, with some rain and cool temperatures. The only complaint I have is the sudden uptick in crickets. Where did they come from? Mina had another veterinary appointment on Wednesday so she could get her second round of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, September 1, 2019

Photo 101: White Balance

August 22, 2019August 21, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

Apologies for the delay in this series. Have I mentioned how much the summer heat kills by creative ability? Plus, my little studio doesn't have great airflow, which makes it more than uncomfortable to work in in the summer. But the heat appears to be breaking. I'm hoping it stays relatively cool for the rest … Continue reading Photo 101: White Balance

Photo 101: Shutter Speed

June 19, 2019June 17, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

The third point on the Exposure Triangle is shutter speed. The camera's shutter speed is usually measured in fractions of seconds-- and tiny fractions, at that. Like aperture, shutter speed determines how much light can go to the sensor at a given point in time. Aperture does this by getting wider or narrower (like the … Continue reading Photo 101: Shutter Speed

Photo 101: ISO

June 14, 2019June 13, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 3 Comments

ISO is a weird part of the Exposure Triangle. There isn't a physical component with it like there is with aperture (an opening at the back of the lens that opens and closes) or shutter speed (where a physical cover opens to reveal the sensor for a brief period of time). ISO describes how much … Continue reading Photo 101: ISO

Photo 101: Aperture

June 13, 2019June 12, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

The basics of photography involve something called the Exposure Triangle. The exposure being your photograph, and the three points of the triangle being the following: shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the camera's shutter is open and letting light hit the sensor. It is usually a fraction of … Continue reading Photo 101: Aperture

Photo 101: The Basics

June 12, 2019June 11, 2019 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 8 Comments

Now that just about everyone has a camera in their pocket thanks to the prevalence of smartphones, we take more and more photographs than ever before. More than 100 million photos are uploaded to Instagram each day, and more than 350 million are uploaded to Facebook. Every. Single. Day. With so many people taking so … Continue reading Photo 101: The Basics

Sunday Sum-Up

June 17, 2018June 17, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

Guys, it's hot. Why is it so hot? It's not even truly summer yet! Yes, I'm a little whiny right now, but all this heat makes it hard to sleep so I'm grouchy. It's supposed to be cooler this week, thankfully, so better nights of sleep are ahead! In the meantime, I did go out … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Photo 365

December 31, 2017 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / Leave a comment

One of my 2017 resolutions was to complete a Photo 365, a photography challenge where you take one photograph every day for an entire year. It sounds easy enough. Thanks to smartphones, everyone has a camera with them at all times these days and we snap away, taking pictures of friends, cats, and food like … Continue reading Photo 365
