I MET JEFF KINNEY

Hey all my blog readers of Kyle's Free Space what's up?. Today I am going to talking about how last night I met Jeff Kinney he writes The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series. I went to Keene Middle School I was 2nd in line out of 800 kids because my mom is awesome and got me first group tickets thanks mom!. There were booths with things to do some were smelliest shoe contest I lost the man said my shoes were to clean. There was guess the weight of the pig I guessed 63.79LBS I got a 3rd place guess. The other booth was where you stand in front of green screen and it generates a picture of you in the Hefley family.
                My mom and I were driving around in the parking lot and we saw the Loaded Diaper van. While I was waiting in line I met a few kids that I talked to they were nice but when Jeff came out kids were going psycho. After the person in front of me went I walked up there told him that I was a huge fan. I also told him I never really enjoyed reading till I found The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. He was happy to hear that I asked if the Loaded Diaper van was his he said it belongs to Rodrick. I laughed when I heard that one after he signed my book I shook his hand then walked back to go to the next booth which was getting your code scanned so I can get the pictures online then I went it found my mom then we went home.
                I went to the website and typed in my code but it did not work because the event was not over. When I woke up this morning they were on there I don't want to post the pictures because my blog does not like uploading pictures it is odd. I did take a lot of pictures but with my phone. I had a good time when I walked down the hall to go to met my mom I saw a big poster with a projector that had the Hefley family waving at me. Of course my thinking it was real like it was a Skype video chat. It was a really fun time.

                I am very thankful that I did not have to stand in line all the time I will post the pictures maybe on my Flicker page. I have to say Jeff Kinney looks a bit nerdy but he is one awesome guy.  there was a little girl in front of me and she had some special problem and Jeff new and gave her and hug that was nice.  I was really happy to meet Jeff because he is my favorite author his book got me into reading. Well this is it for today I hope you enjoyed this post and always if you liked feel free to Wright a comment.

Photography History

                 Photography        Kyle Nelson 11/13/2014
     Photography started in 1839  by  Joseph Nicéphore Niépce the first          photographer ever.  Joseph was a French scientist and he took a picture that went viral. His picture inspired other people to get interested in photography. After that there became tons of photographers many people started buying SLR film cameras. No one knows the exact day of photography's birth but we do now the year it was 1839.
    Now most photographers don't use film cameras most use digital DSLR cameras. There are many brands of cameras like Nikon, Cannon, Sony, Pentax, Kodak, Fujifilm, Olympus and Sigma. There is many things to learn about each and every one of these cameras. The main things to learn is about aperture, Iso, shutter speed and exposure.
1 Apeture is a hole where you can adjust it to get bigger and smaller if you're taking pictures of the sun you lower the aperture so it wont be all white and blurry.
2 ISO is how bright or dark the image will look if you're taking pictures of stars. use a ISO of 3200 if you're taking street photography use a smaller aperture around 64-1500 if your camera can do that.
3 Shutter speed is how fast or slower the shutter is if you're taking star trails use a slow shutter speed of 15 minutes. When your taking pictures of water drops use a fast shutter speed.
4 Exposure is how bright or dark the picture will come out if your taking pictures of lights. in New York use a lower exposure around 30"  if you are taking pictures of stars use a longer exposure around 100".
     Photography is not just a hobby it can be a career you can become a professional  photographer you can take pictures of almost everything. The photography I don't like is where you take pictures for families. I know someone who is pro photographer she takes pictures of families. The photography I enjoy is mostly landscapes I have many landscape pictures I have taken over the months. I have been learning about star photography and I have been enjoying it by reading the books about photography.
   What got me interested into photography was this man named David. After a few months of getting interested into photography I started taking pictures with my Iphone 4 then I got a Kodak easy share. I am hoping to get a Sony camera for Christmas. When I take pictures of stars these are my settings
1 sturdy tripod
2 camera
3 Setting Manual
4 F2.8
5 Iso 3200
6 aperture 16"
   The pictures come out to be good on these settings here is a picture.starz.JPG

      They next photography is film photography. Film photography is pretty hard because the camera has no flash unless you buy one. When I used a film camera It was a hard experience because I could only take pictures in the day because I had no flash. I don't like film photography I prefer digital DSLR and SLR. Film is hard because you have to develop the film without exposing it to light. Digital photography it much easier because there is preset settings and you don't have to manually set it like you would do on film you can manually set it on digital. I have a film camera it is a cheap one that was not too much I have nice lenses though. DSLR cameras are like NIKONS AND CANNONS they have removable lenses and different settings. SLR cameras are almost the same thing just with different features. then we have point and shoots that photographers hate they are really cheap crappy cameras some can be decent. Now what pro photographers hate is people who takes          pictures with I phones they take them to like concerts and they take up room in the pit which is where people take pictures for concerts.
