Teaching aperture (see #2 ) #cameralesson Monday at 11am. Morning is definitely the best time in Summer to get outside with your camera - especially in the village square at #glendaleohio . Aperture is complicated- it changes drastically with lens, zoom, distance. But I show how easy it can be with 3 simple tricks to blur the background. 📷 STEP 1 - zoom all the way! 55mm with this lens. 📷 STEP 2 Get close with this lens! Did you know this 18-55 mm kit lens will focus as close as just a few inches??? So get in there! 📷 STEP 3 - Aperture Priority Mode (A or AV) with lowest number. The bee in Photo #2 was captured with my D500, 70-200 f4 Nikon full frame lens but you could easily get the same look with kit 300mm lens, especially Nikon’s AF-P series lenses on a current SLR body - Just set mode to A. AF-P and AF/M lenses let you tweak focus without changing any buttons.

Shared from @cincinnati_revealed . ca. 1866 The composition of this Glendale classic reflects the transition from Greek Revival to Early Victorianism. Several architectural elements were likely added over many generations, although the ornamental trim adorning the front porch is original and points to the invention of the scroll saw. A quantum technological leap, this innovation enabled the 19th century middle class to embellish vernacular architecture through pattern book designs. . #glendaleohio #cincinnati #folkvictorian #architecture #architecturelovers #architecturephotography, #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #queencity, #BrickStory, #storystylesoul, #holidayhouse, #historicpreservation, #househistory, #preservation, #historichome, #oldhouselove, #americanhome, #vintagelife, #architect, #americanhistory, #thisoldhouse, #ancestry, #storyteller, #dreamhome, #travelamerica, #instahouses, #instatravel, #instaarchitecture, #travelnow, #onlyinamerica Tell us your story...
