So for Christmas my AWESOME husband bought me a super cool camera which I had been desperately wanting
It’s a Nikon D3200 found here on Amazon (he bought mine at Costco which also has amazing deals on cameras)
I decided to buy a Living Social photography class (my first photography class) and went to it this weekend!
It was interesting… I learned some stuff BUT I also felt like the teacher could have put a little more into the class (it ended a lot earlier than it was supposed to)
We learned about
4. ISO
Below is me experimenting with a fast shutter speed to capture the water looking frozen (rather than in motion)
Or in motion (slower shutter speed)
Aperture lower and higher
We also got a handout on composition
1. Framing
2. Symmetry
3. Lines
4. Rule of Thirds (person/thing taking up 1/3 of the photo)
Here’s my symmetry
Lines
All in all I definitely learned some things but felt that the teacher was a little hands off about teaching- also when I asked questions to her one on one she didn’t answer them very well-
I do love photography so I’m still trying to get better and there are a ton of articles online that tell you basically everything~
