Ode to Laura

Having had the amazing opportunity to see Laura Totten at work a few weeks ago @ the Weaver's wedding, I tried to pick up on a few tricks of her trade. The really really is that I was only able to catch her right finger on the camera and continue to understand that I may never get the trade, much less its tricks.

That said, I picked her brain later at the Copper Pig and tried to work on aperture settings today. Underwater photography provided the perfect vehicle to let less or more light in, depending, and I was able to capture this series as a mini-workshop. I stood in one place, reset the aperture, then took a shot. Check out the contrast of light:

I think I may be getting it... at least a little bit. Thanks Laura!
