It's been awhile.....

It's been awhile since I've posted to my blog. I have been taking an 8 week photography class online with Karen Russell and have really been busy with that. I never imagined what a wonderful class this would be. I have learned so much. I never thought I would be able to take my camera off of automatic and now my goal is to keep it off of automatic. Am I taking better pictures?? Not yet, but I'm learning. And one thing I have learned is that until you venture out of your comfort area you'll never learn to do things differently. One of the first things she told us in the class is that to become a better photographer you'll have to taken some pretty lousy pictures. And she is so right. Here a few I've taken during the class...Now remember, none of them were taken in automatic...I had total control over the settings.
