Early this year I wrote my life list and taking a photography course was #7. Item checked off! On Monday I took a course for beginners and learned a ton – basics of settings, more about composition, etc. and now I feel like I understand enough to keep playing with photography.
These are some of the photos I took – though I’m having colour management issues so I don’t love how they appear here – but I’ve included a few captions indicating what I was aiming for with the shot.
(Incidentally, this same company offers photo tours to places like Africa. Since a safari was on my list already I’ve updated it to be a photo tour, because how cool would that be? A safari with photography help – sign me up! When I win the lottery maybe…)
Playing with leading lines

The effect of the rule of thirds
Roy. Focus on statue details.
Just because I like pictures of paths.
Didn't quite get the detail in the flowers I wanted, but aren't these cool?
Love these spikes.
Lines of the fence with flowers in the foreground.
White in a sea of green.
This poor bear, lying there waiting to be played with again.
Stark white. I wonder if he had grass stains?
Blue smile conveys no concern, knowing his playmates are nearby.
He knows they’ll come back when hide and seek is done.
