I don't think I'll be having an exhibition any time soon...

I'm doing a 2 day course on how to use a digital SLR. It is really great to learn all the different camera functions, but also really frustrating because it is bloody hard to keep your camera on "Manual" when it is so much easier to put it on "Idiot-proof" (as the instructor calls it)!!! Photos are so much harder to get right, but I appreciate that it's the only way to learn so I'm just trying, trying and trying again and taking a lot of shitty photos along the way.

I got some printed today and will take them in tomorrow to get feedback. Meanwhile, I took a few this afternoon and while the photos themselves were not crash hot, I did have fun playing around with them in iPhoto. It's a blessing and a curse to have access to all these tools that make your photos look nice. It means you don't really need to be a great photographer at all. But I want to be one anyway. :)

If you click on any of the photos, you can see them bigger. I don't know why Blogger makes them so tiny...





My next project is going to be learning how to us photoshop. My mum and dad bought the latest Creative Suite and have kindly allowed me to load the software onto my Mac. Yay!
