Photography class with Cheryl Johnson

The 4 week on-line class (which I am loving) is about taking the camera off auto.

How scary was that?

This is week 2

I was really pleased with my results for the first assignment but I was a bit of a coward, as I have never posted anything on a forum before, I wasn’t too concerned.

Feeling a bit guilty I set about the second assignment straight away. As I was pleased with what I had achieved I posted really quickly. I got some fab feed back which has given me so much confidence. Thanks so much

Week one: setting the aperture.

I loved doing this. I am thrilled with the pictures of the flowers in my garden.  I feel as though my garden must be lovely to have such beautiful flowers in it when in fact it is an overgrown jungle!

Week two: setting the speed

This week I am learning about shutter priority! I never thought I would be able to take the camera off auto let alone choose what speed to set the shutter. I am so thrilled with the results.

The traffic normally races down our road but seeing me standing out side with a camera, suddenly they were all driving along very nicely at 30mph! I had to make some adjustments to my settings (more learning) to capture the essence of speed. I love the picture, thank you singing man.

Yes it was very windy in my garden on Saturday. I was thinking I might have to get the fan on the windmill but nature stepped in for me
