Kevin and his Plethera of Girls

My cutie friend Jamie and I just completed a 6 week photography class at the college! We LOVED it! I can not believe how much we learned in 6 weeks! The class was great because each week we learned a new concept then we had to go and practice it by taking pictures and bringing them into class to be evaluated in front of everyone else. There were two rules you could only shoot in manual and NO PHOTOSHOP, NO CROPPING NOTHING, just the shot right out of the camera! SCARY!~ I learned a great deal from looking at others pictures, and just hung my head when my were on the screen. Miss Jamie's were always amazing! As a summery of things we learned by week here is a nice little list, obviously I did not type everything down because there is just TOO much but here is a tidbit;

1. Manual mode, White balance, ISO, Metering, Shutter, Aperture,
2. Exposure Composition, stopping actions, blurring action, Depth of Field, Ghost Elk
3. Photo merge, Composition, Rules of thirds, C'S, S's ,and leading lines
4. Framing a subject, landscape composition,
5. how to use my flash and external flash yeah!!!
6. Sunsets,stars, direct sunlight on a subject, Light temperature in different parts of the day the triangle rule

Here are my leading lines pictures, yeah no photoshop!

(A leading line is something that draws your eye to the back of the photo)

Here are my depth of field and blurred action photos

last my landscape compositions and framing photos

My rule of c's and thirds, oops and another blurred action. I was just really happy that I was able to get the water to look silky, It honestly took my awhile!
I have to say it was well worth my time and money!! So what are we going to do next Jamie???
