Photography class

Tonight was my third of four photography classes. I'm really enjoying it! First, I get 2 hours to myself and don't have to wait on a single person! Second, I'm learning a lot. Each week we are challenged to take what we've learned and complete a "homework assignment." I really like that this assignment makes me practice each week. And, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and taking pictures I wouldn't normally take.

Here's my favorite picture from this week's shutter speed assignment. This is the carousel at the Children's Museum. I found a place to sit my camera and set my shutter speed to 8". That means the shutter was open for 8 full seconds (which is why I had to sit it on something to keep it still).



Here's another one from the shutter speed assignment.



I'm really looking forward to this week's assignment on depth of field!
