Photography Class

I'm taking another photography class and this is my first set of homework pictures. Our instructor is a professional photographer Paul Fletcher.

We have to shoot in manual mode so I am adjusting ISO, shutter speed, and aperture for every shot. It's time consuming and frustrating but it sure helps you understand more about how your camera works and how to adjust for different light conditions.

 

In these photographs I was mainly trying to get exposure right. I also worked on depth of field and thought about composition. My favourites in this set are the fern frond pictures.

Re the Mack truck: The Big Guy and I walk by this truck every day on our after-supper walk. He says the truck seems threatening and dangerous. It gives him the shivers. He watched a horror movie once about a Mack truck running down people and vehicles. I tried to capture that malevolence in the head-on shot of the truck. Not sure if I succeeded.
