Last summer I wanted to join the Summer School at the Walthamstow District and Photo Society, unfortunately I took my sweet time about signing up and in the end was too late. Instead I joined the society in November and have been attending each Monday since then.
Now summer has come around again and the Summer School is back! This Monday past was the first lesson, and covered the basics, exposure, focus, camera types, shutter speed, focal length, aperture and all that. There were a lot of numbers thrown around, f-numbers, millimetres, fractions of seconds... and despite that it was quite entertaining.
We have homework! Homework! I don't do housework let alone homework... fortunately it is only a bit a photo taking, unfortunately the first week's subject was 'nature'. I have nothing against nature photography, I just can't get all that excited about it. I imagine that all the great photos of photography have been taken, and they're lovely but I'm going to struggle to bring something new to the table with only a week. So I've augmented the challenge, instead of taking a great, original and mind blowing photo of nature, I'm going to take a decent one with a mobile phone! I can only choose one to 'enter' for my homework, not sure which one yet:
