Class in Session

In the interest of photographic self-improvement, I took a three hour photography class today. It was offered through a local recreation program and was well worth the $11 I paid. The instructor spent some time with me during the break and after class, walking through each of my camera's settings and helping me adjust some of the strange things I've done to my poor manual settings.

He was also quite patient about explaining, multiple times, ISO, f stops and apertures.

Undeterred by the fact that I was the only person pulling out a notepad and pen, I took five pages of notes. (It's a class people. Bring a pen and paper for crying out loud.)

The real question is...will the class help improve my photos? Time will tell. But do let me know if you see some sort of improvement. If you don't see improvement, just stay quiet. My poor fragile ego couldn't handle it.

Favorite quote of the morning?

"If you find that your friends don't like your pictures, find new friends."
