This is one of my favorite 'accidental art' kind of photos. It's from the Bon Jovi concert and I took it will my cell phone. Love it! Maybe I'll learn how to do more like this on purpose!

We spent the first couple hours outside, appreciating the mini break in the humidity. What I learned is that 2 hours on the hard ground without a break to get up and move around doesn't feel like it did when I was an undergrad...a-hem, several years back!
Part of the course is also the history of photography in general and how we reached this point with digital media and photography as a legitimate art form. That is really interesting to me. I tend to learn better when I have the whole concept. Learning how we've come from chemical type engraving to using digital photos, with all the steps in between tells a story in my head that I can remember when I'm trying to take good photos. Also, the sheer diversity of people and majors in this class could be a hoot!
I will post some of the photos I take and the purpose behind a few of the assignments as I go along. Luckily, the state fair is going on while I am in this class, so I will be getting all kinds of good shots from that little trip...and stories too. Wish me luck for the second 4 hour session tomorrow, after I work all day.
M.E.

I'm so jealous! I so want to take a photography class but there is not one in my tiny town. Hopefully the next place I live will have one.
One day I will take a photography class..there is so much to learn not only about my camera but how to take a great picture. Good for you taking this class...you will walk away with a better understanding of it all!
this looks great, are you sure you need to do a beginners course? your photography is great.
Enjoy the class--you undoubtedly will come away with much "helpful" knowledge. Didn't you love the Bon Jovi concert!!!! Have a nice weekend. Mickie :)
Good for you for taking a course! I too have gone from faculty to learner in the past year, having taken 3 community college courses (Drawing I, Drawing II, and Photoshop) online -- it's been very enjoyable. I'm sure you'll learn a lot --
Lucky girl! Enjoy yourself! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about what you learn.
