700 Photos

I am no photographer. I have no understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO or other photography jargon. Thanks to Lola, I don't even have to take half the photos on this blog! But in saying this, I'm attempting to learn and truly embody the stereotypical fashion blogger, DSLR and all. So I thought it was fitting to go and exercise my shooting skills at the Seven Hundred Photo's exhibition in Darlinghurst a few nights ago. The event was held at a hotel where photographers of all levels enter seven different rooms and photograph the unique installations in each one.

Out of the 200 or so photos I took, only 20 seemed to be in focus. Out of the 20 I give you my best 5 shots. Funny enough these were all taken in only two rooms. And if you think they are crap, well, pretend Lola took them.

    Your collection of shots is incredible. A budding photographer in our midst! I absolutely love the first photo, you captured the energy so well! :D They're all have a quirky psychedelic feel to em or maybe because I'm smitten by the round sunnies that scream '1960S!' to me. Hope to see more of your lovely work :)

    Good start in your photography. I'd like to pick up the camera and take DSLR shots as well, but I definitely understand the difficulty of grasping all of those terminologies. Don't worry, you'll get there - faster than me anyway!

    These look GREAT! I wanted to punch my DSLR in the face when we first got together - oh the drama, the dark shots, the blurry shots, the rage, the tears! Lola would be the perfect teacher - you need to milk her for tips!

    Oh...a tip - when I first started shooting I'd take a shot on auto so I could see what the camera thougth was best, then I'd try replicating those settings on manual or at least appeture function.

    not bad. and don't worry, discarded shots are normal. for most people, there will always be crappy shots.

    I really like the results, it would probably a bit scary if all 200 shots would be fantastic!

    Not bad at all, and even great photographers don't nail 100% of their pictures.
