Week one was the study of light. How does natural light affect your subject? Certain times of day have different hues of light, the quality of light changes, and the shadows change.
We had to take photos of the same subject at different times of day. Here are some examples:
9 AM
12:45 PM
5 PM
I also took photos that illustrate front light, side light, and back light:
Front Light
Back Light
Side Light
I have been digital scrapbooking for almost 2 years now. We have so many digital photos, that it is nice to do pages directly on the computer instead of printing or waiting for them to be developed. Our photos are decent, but I want to be able to have some great photos.
Although we have a great camera, I have barely scratched the surface of its potential. I have never learned basic composition, lighting, or other photo techniques. I use the auto modes on the camera and have no idea how to use ISO settings, aperture, or white balance.
I found a basic 4 week photography class at Big Picture Classes with Elisha Snow that will introduce me to these concepts and hopefully improve my photography skills. We have a short assignment every week and are encouraged to take as many photos as possible to practice the concepts taught in class that week.
I miss visiting Niagara Falls now that I’m so far away from it. I love to watch the water fall and be absorbed into the sound of the rushing water.
Esther got everyone to hold her up to smell the flowers that summer.

I’ve used this kit for quite a few pages. I think it’s one of my favorites: great colors and versatile elements.
