Project 52 8/52

Another photo from my course this week

Extra long exposures

I am up to week 3 of my photography course. We had a three week break as my teacher Mark went overseas for a couple of weeks.

 

Photo overload this week - sorry I could not choose which ones to include.  I will come back and show how long the exposure was for each shot - grumpy kids at the moment.  The longest exposure was 2 minutes!

Project 52 - 3/52

This weeks photo for Project 52 is from my lesson at Stockton. This one is my favourite from the set

Beginners Course

Ever since I bought my DSLR, I have been looking for a beginners photography course. I have seen quite a few, but I was put off by the size of the classes and by their websites - I know this sounds terrible, but if I dont like the pictures on their website, I am dubious as to what I can be taught by them.   On a recommendation I approached Mark from Tighes Hill Photography, what appealed to me about this course was that it was one-on-one spread over 4 weeks.

Tuesday was my first class and we headed down at 6pm to Stockton Beach.  I was a bit worried driving from work as the weather was a bit suspect, but the light and the clouds were perfect for shooting.

I had a great time on the course (thanks Mark) learnt some new things and really excited that what I was doing was right - I was so worried that I was doing everything wrong, so great to know that I was on the right track.

Photos were taken with my 18-55mm kit lens - I have lens envy at the moment as I had a little play with Mark's Sigma 10-20mm lens - going to have to save up for that one.

They have been edited in Lightroom - I will post some before and after's in another post. I found some new tricks today that I am pretty excited about.
