Langfords Basic Photography

I checked out this book from the library the other day and it looks like it could teach me a lot about photography. It also has some assignments at the end of each section, and im going to post them on here as well, since this is basically a blog for myself with no one reading it.

Starting to learn the Exposure Triangle

Outside of Seacoast after a failed attempt to take a picture for an assignment due to a lack of a tripod or decent lighting, I noticed this plant by my car. It was a pretty ugly plant, and in hindsight I should have took a picture of the whole thing. That being said there were these pink flowers on the dying plant. Turning down the ISO and the aperture I got a pretty decent picture.

I think its interesting to note that from the right angle something that appears ugly can turn out to be beautiful.
