I finally started taking photography classes AND I am interning with a very talented photographer. I am so excited! This base has never had anyone like her before. She offers classes, takes other photographers under her wings, arranges outings for people to practice photography, and she is arranging photography tours. My first class with her was last Saturday and I feel like I have learned so much already! She talked about ISO settings and white balance and JPEG versus RAW. Our first class was about shooting Macro shots so we headed to Kintai to practice in the beautiful rose garden there. I took so many pictures! While I am not sure if I completely get the concept of Macro, I sure did have a blast practicing! :)
Afterwards, a few of us drove down to the Kudamatsu Sports Park and practiced some more on the beautiful poppies that were growing there. The very first picture is one that I took of the poppies....with a bee! I was trying so hard to get a picture of the bee, but he did not want to stay still. I didn't think I had been able to get a picture of the little bugger at all, but there he was when I was looking at my pictures on the computer. The second picture is one that I took in the rose garden at Kintai. I absolutely love the color of the flower.
I know I have a lot to learn, but I am SO excited to finally learn more about something that I have loved for so long!
