So I've been a little busy and haven't really had the chance to blog anything because of the 4th of July but in a nutshell I'll tell you about last Wednesday's lesson.
We were instructed by Kelly, over in the VI building, who provided a camera for each intern. We practiced aperture and field of depth outside in the July heat... and although it was hot and of course Kelly and I both decided to wear all black; it was beyond informative. We took beautiful pictures of the trees and we practiced taking pictures while objects were moving focusing on the object in the forefront then later focusing on the objects in the backdrop. While standing on the corner taking pictures of the cars, who didn't drive very fast for fear the we were secret agents for the base police ;-), we actually captured some great pictures.
We were surprisingly stopped by one citizen asking us did we have permission to take pictures of the outside, but Kelly assured him that we did and that we were learning. That was a prime example of exactly how private everything is on the base.
So far, this was one of my favorite aspects of the internship program because it was cool learning how to really take a good quality picture. Although that's not the field any of us are going in, its great to have those skills because they are, believe it or not, really versatile. Everyone loves a good picture. Even more so, when you're writing an article and you need a picture to accompany it, this way you can take it yourself. So thanks to that lesson we actually got a pretty good one. (and yes I took this one while creeping on the other interns ;p)
