Digital Photography Class 4

Tonight's class the students brought in some Autumn bits and pieces for us to take some still life photography. Autumn gives us great opportunity in terms of colour and a wide variety of colourful leaves.

Here is a selection of images from last nights class:

Arranging the different materials on the tables. Notice how some of the students are using tripods, this enables certain macro shots to be sharp and accurate.

Colin discovered that in his bag of Autumnal goodies, he had a little friend.

Colin's tiny stowaway! Leaving his mark on the table top as well. (We wiped it afterwards...and no harm became of the snail either!)

With everything that was brought in, there was a very good selection for the group to choose from.

Colin's Tomato and Holly arrangement, very festive - if not too early!

All in all a very good session. It's quite useful to be able to actually spend some time with the camera, actually taking photographs. Many of us lead busy lives and scarcely have the time to dedicate to it, unless we are going somewhere special perhaps. That's one of the things I like to provide in the class - time where the students can play about with their cameras, and ask questions and get advice when they need it.

It's Half Term next week, so remember - no school! When we return we will be looking at Paint Shop Pro X3, and learning how to modify our photographs! Should be fun!
