Is this working

My friend Kathryn and I spent the morning together talking about photography and shooting pictures at Masterson Park. She wanted to take part in next Saturday's photography class (see post below) but will be heading back for her second semester at Howard Payne University early next week, so we did a 2-hour one-on-one version of what the class will cover.

We talked about elements of composition and depth of field:

We discussed looking at things from more than one angle to find the one we like best:

We experimented with slight changes in our point of view to frame subjects:

We picked a subject to walk around and noticed how the light and background changed:

And we finished up the shoot with Kathryn unknowingly becoming my subject:

Thanks for listening to me blabber on and on, Kathryn! Once I get started with all this stuff, it's hard to stop. You've got a great eye and a real future in creating beautiful images. I look forward to seeing the terrific shots you're sure get with the girls at the zoo tomorrow!

It was your own eyes

that saw all these great things the Lord has done.

Deuteronomy 11:7

Did Santa bring you a new digital camera for Christmas? Or have you had your camera for a while, intending to read the manual someday and figure out how to use it? Then have I got an invitation for you!

My first in a series of hands-on instructional workshops,
"I've Got This Digital Camera -- Now What?"
will be held at Sunny Hearts on Saturday, January 17, from
9:00 am until 1:00 pm. The class will be limited to five students to allow plenty of time for individual camera-specific questions. We'll go on a neighborhood photo hike and practice using the settings our cameras feature.

The cost of this workshop is $100, which includes lunch and a take-home tips packet. Register by January 10 to save your spot. Just call 979.849.4536 or email me at laurieheath@sbcglobal.net!
