Update on Class

As I told you earlier, last night was my first night of Photography Class. It was GREAT! I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot in three hours. Our instructor, who Christinenamed "the big fat greek wedding instructor" is really good. He has many many years of experience, as does his wife who has shot the likes of Patti LaBelle and Oprah. It was great to hear their advice and pointers regarding peoples' photo's too. I am really looking forward to the next 5 classes, and sit here wondering if that will really be enough?

We do have some assignments based on our class last night. We are instructed to tape our lens at 50mm, and only shoot at that setting. Yikes, that will be quite different for me. But, I'm willing to give it a try. We are also supposed to use the Rule of Thirds for all of our pictures, and shoot in RAW format; which I have never used. It kinda scared me before! :-) I guess now I will be thinking about how to get my hands on a copy of Photoshop CS2, as he says we all need to have it. Hmm, anyone out there want to buy it for me? Anyway, I will post my assignments here for your viewing pleasure, and you can let me know what you think! I've been trying all day to think of something really interesting to shoot, but haven't come to a conclusion yet. It's too hard to shoot my 2 yo, she's way too busy!!
