Introduction

Welcome to my blog! You're here for information on photography and that's what I'm here to give you. My name is Alex Pursh. I am currently a freshman at IUP Punxsutawney. Through my high school years, I grew fond of photography, took classes, and also taught myself many techniques that I am planning on sharing with you! I will be posting weekly about different subjects including: photo history (types of cameras, types of printing methods, film, etc.), lighting, portraits, astro/nature photography, light writing and some Photoshop tips when necessary. Along with an abundance of information and instructions, I will be posting some of my pictures to give a visual so you can compare your pictures! (All pictures posted are mine unless cited otherwise). I know I'm not a professional, but photography is an art. With art, anyone can be good! Say you have a plain just regular digital camera. Has anyone ever said "oh you can't take good pictures, you need a DSLR"? NO! When I first started in tenth grade, all I had was a small point and shoot Canon digital camera. To be a "good" photographer and take "good" pictures, what you need is technique and an eye for beautiful images! It doesn't matter if your camera was fifty dollars or five hundred dollars, all you need is the knowledge of photography, and I'm here to help! I will leave my email for anyone that has any further questions! (:
