   I consider myself to be an accomplished amateur photographer, with a lot to learn. I’m always looking pick up tips/info that I do not know. The info on HDR is facinating. Can’t wait to try it.

   David,

   I was asked to spend about 30 mins talking to kids 8 years to 18 years old about photography for a fun and for future income. How I got into photography, the thrill I get doing it and a little about photography itself.

   I would like to bring you along…well, three of your articles entitled “The 4 Top Causes of Blurry Photos, And How To Fix Them”, The article that starts with “ISO Explained” and this last one, “Camera Hieroglyphics Demystified: The Camera Lens”, of course, with your permission.

   This Career Day is once a year for At Risk Children that are interested in dogs and horses. Since I am a dog and family photographer, I was asked to attend. There will be about 12 children with their parents present.

   Would you mind if I used these articles that are very well written and at the level that not only I can understand, but they they can understand too?

   I have written your email address at the top of each article and your name and date are on the top too.

   If you have a problem with me handing out these articles please email me and I will not do it. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you and all of your information put into simple language. There is so much information out there that I sometimes get overwhelmed.

   Thank you again,
   Suzanne

   For those of you who use the GIMP, you can get an HDR plugin for it as well.

   Sorry, I didn’t realize that the URI for the GIMP HDR plugin wouldn’t show in my post. Here it is: http://registry.gimp.org/taxonomy/term/410

   Suzanne,

   Yes, you may use my tips for your class. I usually allow anyone to use my tips for any offline purpose as long as my name and my website are printed with it.

   David.

   Turn up your exposure value, that should help offset the dark shadows. Alternatively, use a flash to bounce it off the ceiling. If you’re using a normal digicam, you could try to bounce it off using a piece of foil but it would take practice.
