Our Vision through the Lens

We are currently a handful of people who love photography either as a hobby or profession.
We reside, work or visit various places within the boundaries of Kern County, California.

We have come together by way of various means, such as The Bakersfield Digital Photography MeetUp Group, various groups on Flickr, California Photo Forum and through friends and family.

Our goal or mission is to learn from each other about the various aspects of photography while enjoying our craft. Our hope is to someday be able to give back and contribute to the community.

There are no dues or fees for membership, so come and join us, teach us and learn from us as we grow and become an asset to our online and local communities.



Calling all KPA Members: You now have a home on Flickr as well as our web site.

Camera's Shooting Modes
Posted by Herb on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 (06:51:32) (665 reads)

By WeldonShooter

At the recent photo seminar I did, the discussion turned to meter modes and then Landrat ask about shooting modes. I didn't understand the question at first but then said I use A (aperture priority) for landscape most of the time. The discussion then turned elsewhere and I don't think I explained why, so I'm putting it up here if anyone else is fuzzy about this.

Most modern cameras have four basic shooting modes:
P - Program
A - Aperture Priority
S - Shutter Priority
M - Manual

Portraits Photograph Your Toddler

Photograph Your Toddler
by NYI Contributing Writer Richard Martin

Want a picture-taking challenge? Well, if you are a parent, grandparent, or relative of a toddler and you are the “designated photographer”, you already know that capturing kids of this age with a camera is downright difficult. Why? Simply because toddlers often exhibit non-stop motion, have the attention span of about a nanosecond, and can emotionally range from hysterical laughter to hysterical crying, sometimes for no apparent reason.

However, I have always found this age group to be more rewarding, photography-wise, than children of any other age. Infants, of course, have their own charm and most people think babies are adorable. Maybe so, but in my experience toddlers are more interesting. They are at the age when they are really able to interact with the world around them, walking (or running) everywhere and touching everything. You can talk to them and get a meaningful response, though sometimes it’s not one we would prefer. Every parent knows that one of the easiest words they learn to articulate is NO. But photographing them is action photography by definition, more akin to sports than portraiture, and that’s where the challenge lies.

Portraits 4 Quick Tips for Portraits
Posted by Herb on Friday, April 10, 2009 (07:44:02) (638 reads)

by Darren Rowse

I met Pro Photographer George Tippet (no website… yet) at a function recently where he was the official photographer. I sidled up to him in a quiet moment, introduced myself and after chatting with him for a few minutes asked if he’d mind giving me a few ‘quick tips’ for portrait photography (his expertise). Here’s what he said (and what I managed to jot down quickly on a napkin).

Tips & Tricks “What ISO is best for my pictures?”
Posted by Herb on Friday, April 10, 2009 (07:43:02) (649 reads)


Changing the ISO setting on your camera changes the sensitivity to light of the image sensor inside of it.

The lower number that you select the less sensitive the sensor is to light (and conversely the higher the number the more sensitive it becomes).

This is useful when you’re shooting in different lighting situations - particularly when there’s low light and you might not be able to use a flash (you’d bump up your ISO setting in this case).

The only cost of increasing ISO is that as you do it you’ll notice that the ‘noise’ or ‘grain’ in your shots also begins to increase.
