Aperture Priority


Related image

I have been struggling lately with full in manual mode so I decided to switch it up and use AP known as aperture priority. This mode helps with prioritizing the depth of field over the shutter speed. This mode gives you the advantage of shooting speed, control over technique and the best exposure all at the same time. 

In Aperture priority, if you want the best exposure with the fastest shutter speed, you simply need to set your dial to the maximum aperture. You can do this even without looking at the settings. Remember bigger aperture means more light coming in. I have Tamron 10-24mm,  which is f/3.5 at the widest angle. 
It may seem that having an f/3.5 aperture is limiting, but this limit is actually the biggest advantage of Aperture Priority. 

 I've really enjoyed messing around with Av mode and plan to keep on using it. I haven't given on up full blown manual but plan to shoot more in Av.

This photo was taken on a beautiful October dat while fly fishing on the Madison river south of Ennis Montana. This bull had no care in the world that I was about 80 yards from him. He actually put on a little show. Racking and thrashing the brush. I have never been this close to a moose besides being in YNP. And this is by the far the biggest bull moose I have ever seen. His beautiful black coat and near white legs made for some beautiful shots. I used this photo for my student art show submission.

Editing on my mac and replacing the hard drive and ram

Image
So I currently have a mid 2012 mac book pro and it was being so so slow that I was on the verge of buying a new one but I decided to put more ram and a new solid state hard drive into it. And let me tell you you, it made a world of difference.I had been struggling to open up light room and adobe premier to do some editing and it was almost impossible because my computer was moving like a slug. This little 250 dollars that I put into it saved me a heck of a lot of money!!! If you're thinking about buying a new mac try this first.

August 30th Post

It was early spring of 2016 and my hunting buddies and I were headed on our annual trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness with packs full of gear and high hopes of finding a few bears. As we trekked through the previous winters snow we crossed paths with old wolf, grizzly and some deer and elk sign. The first few days we didn't turn up any bears so we packed up camp and headed to a new location. About a mile from where we were camped we ran into this beautiful chocolate sow. She didn't really know what to think but never posed as a threat to me or my buddies. We stood around for a few minutes but I was able to snap this quick picture of her before we kept on.
