Wanna be photographer

So I'm about to go to my 3rd photography class tomorrow at the National School of Photography and can't wait. I have already learned to much about my camera and shutter speed, fstops etc. Exactly what I wanted. Our first real assignment is due. I'm handing in 24 photos of timed exposure shots using artificial light. It was so much fun to do. Here's one I like, but I think it's a Little out of focus. No doubt they will be critiqued and have plenty wrong with them, but that's what the course is all about. I had to buy a tripod and spent R350 (the cheapest of the range). Now I know why you can spend up to R3000 for a good tripod, for R350 you get what you pay for. I can't get my camera straight so have to have one leg longer on the tripod than the other two to get a straight shot! Hm, on second thought maybe it's just the tripod operator that's the problem.

Scrapping news - I'm scheduled to teach at Scraptifity on 23rd June. Want to join me?
