Picture This!

So I did! I signed up for photography classes. I actually followed through on something. And picked up a hobby. Yay for me!

Classes already started and are going well. They are held at a local high school one evening a week. These two men in their 50/60s teach the class and both have an obsession with photography. The one guy carries a camera in his fanny pack at all times. Haha. It's so he never misses a chance to capture something beautiful. They both get excited talking about photography. And are getting me excited.

We get assignments every week. This week, we had to play around with the aperture and capture depth of field. For my assignment, I shot Huz standing 30 feet from a creek. With the widest aperture, the creek was blurred, so it looked like it was far away. It was a neat effect. Anyway, my teachers said my photos turned out well. =)

Here are some examples of a narrow depth of field:

Neat, right?

P.S. I have to tell you about this one woman in my class. She is a classic know-it-all. And she does this really annoying thing that drives me f**king crazy. Every time the teachers say something, she'd respond with an "uh-huh." Mind you, there are thirty other people in this class, so they aren't talking to only her. So every minute or so, I'd hear "uh-huh." OMG! It is so annoying.
