A few weeks ago Erika and I decided to take a photography course to finally learn how to use our cameras without the assistance of the automatic feature. I've had my camera for years but until I took this course I had no idea how it truly worked. Besides that I had almost zero understanding of what makes a good picture. The answer: light and shot setup (basically, how you capture the things in your shot and where you place them).
We learned things like how to focus on something in the foreground:
And how to focus through something onto it's background:
We learned about portraiture:
And colour and shot set up:
And then things got really fun when we experimented with some new tricks:
Now we feel like certified pros with our cameras in hand and we can't wait to continue to build our skills outside of class.
