About my photography class

On Saturday I officially knocked another off of my list.  Karyn and I drove up to Pittsburgh on Friday evening and stayed with our good friends Justin and Carrie.  On Saturday morning I left to head down to the studio the class was being held in.  After a quick introduction from John and David we started learning about our cameras. I quickly learned how little I know about photography, and about my camera.  To sum up what I knew before the class was how to turn my camera on.

I don’t want to bore anyone too much with the details of what we went over but I will share with you the trinity of photography as they described it.  ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.  Put them all together and I found that I can actually take a pretty good picture with our DSLR camera and I don’t even have to use the auto mode. The best part of the class is that I feel like I have the tools to begin to take some really great photos.  Check some of the pictures I took.

Take a photography class

What I’ve been enjoying the most about my list so far has been the interaction I’ve gotten from so many different people.  Some that I know and some that have just clicked their way over to my site.  I love the feedback and interaction.  My friend Carrie posted a comment last night telling me about a photography class being offered by David Burke and John Craig in Pittsburgh this weekend.  To sweeten the deal all the proceeds from the last three seats they had open are going to Hatti.  So I took the plunge and signed up.

I’m really excited about this because David is the photographer that did Karyn and I’s wedding pictures (for free I might add) and he was amazing.  Karyn and I revisit the photos that he took for us often.  He did an incredible job capturing all the moments of that special day for us.  I want to know more about how to use our DSLR camera, and I’ve read some of David’s how to photo blog, but was still pretty clueless.  I can’t wait to learn more about my camera and flex my creative muscles a bit.

So on Saturday I’m taking a photography class that my friend Carrie tipped me off too.  What are some of the things on my list that you can help me accomplish?  What are some things on your list that you need some help accomplishing?  Let’s do it together, it sounds much more exciting that way.
