Photography! And Fauna!

My photography class started last week. It is offered through my little city’s parks and recreation department and held at the senior center. Taught by a retired forestry service worker/photographer, I am picking up some nuggets certainly.


It is good that I have read what I have already read, and I am re-reading more. Which is fine. The first time around there was a lot! To learn! And it was too much to get it all. Now, down the road aways, I know some, and I can pick up some of the rest.

So it’s all good.
We even had a field trip on Saturday for practice in some hands-on picture takin’. Some of the exercises I put to work new things about my camera. Some of the exercises…well, I figured out later I didn’t know what I was doing, and will do those exercises on my own later this week.

Again..good. That is the purpose, is it not?

So on Sunday, Wonderful Guy and I headed up the mountain to Estes and Rocky. For more practice.  And after looking at the shots on the computer, I have some notes. Not all great photos, but overall a learning experience.

However!

On the way home. Look what we spied. First one I have ever seen in real life. So cool.


Close to the road. And I got lots of shots.


But! The camera? She was still set on manual. With a wide aperture. And focused on a fence rail between me and the bobcat.

D-oh! Lots of shots, but none as good as they might have been. Still learning.

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
