I am in week 6 of my photography class, Snapshots of Good Life, and my head is swimming a bit from all the information: exposure triangle, exposure compensation, focus, f-stops, depth of field, ISO, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, back lighting, indirect lighting, side lighting, reflectors, gray cards . . . I could go on and on. But, to say I've been enjoying this class would be a gross understatement! I have LOVED it! Karen Russell is an amazing photographer and teacher and everything is so well organized.
There are still two weeks left and I know it will take months and years of practice to become adept at the techniques I've been learning, but even at this point, I can see my skills improving.
This morning, I needed a cooperative human subject to photograph for my latest assignment. My friend, Gina's daughter, Megan offered to help out, so I brought her home with me after Souper Saturday deliveries. She is so cute and was so patient with me as I changed settings, walked around her, turned her around and checked my screen. Naturally, there were some photos that were not very good, but it seems like the percentage of those is becoming smaller, so that's good news! Here are a few of my favorites (shot in my backyard and unedited---which is in itself a huge accomplishment):
