Through the Lens
Let me first say that photography does not come easily for me. I enjoy taking pictures, especially of my family, but I know that I could get a better picture, if I knew how to “really” use my camera. Speaking of my camera, I have had it for about 3 years now and after taking literally hundreds of pictures (mostly of my family), I still use it mostly to “point and shoot”—even though it has many settings to help me take a more realistic photo—I just have been unable to use it to it’s full potential. Until now…..
I was fortunate to come across a blog recently that is offering lessons in taking Digital Photography, so I am going to try and learn a few things about my camera. Through the Lens- Digital Photography 101 is just what I needed to get myself motivated to take some awesome pictures (hopefully!)The first assignment was to get acquainted with the camera manual and begin taking pictures—anything—the idea is to start playing with the settings on your camera to produce the desired picture. So, hopefully, in a few days, I will be able to post some photos of my practice sessions!

I have learned so much since signing up for this workshop. It has inspired me to learn more about what the camera does and how to use it better. I’m glad you’re going to try it out too … soon we’ll be famous photographers

Heather,
I’m so glad you posted about this class—I was looking to take a class here at ASU, but the timing was bad—and then I saw your post. I’m still trying to mange my time to be able to play with my camera and read the manual, but I am definitely looking forward to learning more and more….Thanks again!!
