One of the topics our lessons focused on this week was about how to operate a camera. Things like the proper way of setting the f-stop, shutter speed, what lens to use, etc.

This weekend I attended a wedding, and the event took place outside. It was slightly sunny, but mostly cloudy. While sitting at a table, I witnessed a lady walking around taking pictures of the guests with her own camera. I thought it was interesting to see how she adjusted her camera according to the situation and lighting of the environment. There were various times she switched her lens, added flash, then removed flash, and things like that. Seeing her do those things made me realize all the knowledge and the meticulous process that goes behind a picture beyond simply pressing a button. While I am not basing my career on photography, I do think having the basic knowledge over it is important.
