Andersons: Class on Photography

Me and Emily decided we wanted learn more about photography. So we took a photography class through Thanksgiving. Here is the Result, sorry they are backward, I totally forgot that it goes backward.

Day Three: We were late for the class so we decided to go take pictures in the children garden, which I would recommend to any mother who has a child. It is very short and very fun. And as we will see has Noah's Ark and the water to play in.

Mmm can we say sun!

Here is Noah's Ark and as you can see the kids playing in it love it.

So I saw this path way in the bushes and I told Emily we should go in it. Ah turns out it was a maze, which I said when we went in the park would be the worst thing ever to get stuck in, but I think most gardens should have. We got out eventually.

The fruit is coming!!!!

We learned about the lighting. The most attractive lighting, which I tried on this, but It was in the middle of the day. Usually the back lighting is during the early morning or the night when the sun is just about the set.

The pond.

Pink Lotus flowers

Looking across pond.

The prettiest darn lotus flower I have ever seen.

Ladder leading to no where

Day Two: This is the second day after class, learning about depth of field, reflectors and etc.

The last of the tulips.

Ah they have gotten so big, and I dont know where the other two went, but look how big they have gotten.

This was taken during the tulip festival two weeks before.

Add some of this wonderful stuff, IN THE MIDDLE OF FREAKING APRIL!!!!

And you get this, luscious garden walk.

The carousel horses had pansy packs.

Choppy falls or

Wispy

I thought this looked really interesting. The teacher was also a Horticulture teacher and he was saying that this black stuff wasn't killing the tree, its actually good for it I think I remember him say. Oh well it made for a cool picture, don't you think?

We learned about Depth of Field and using objects to help show how big things are. So I used tree, well he told us to use this tree to shoot through at the falls.

So we learned about reflectors and how they work. This picture had a silver reflector on it, we tried a gold one but the sun wasn't out so you really couldn't tell but this one you can tell I think.

Under normal lighting. Can you tell now?

I know pansies get hold after so much, I guess I haven't seem them in a while and I really like the colors on these ones.

The amazing African Daisy, I had tons of these in my garden last year.

First Day. The tulips are more then died, in fact they were pulling out the bulbs and all of them.

He thought us that most cameras can't pick out the darkest of blues or the brightest of whites. They just can't seem to do that in most pictures, especially taking them just right after each other. So he made us attempt. This is my attempt of the dark purple.
