Exercise: Panning with different shutter speeds.

Technical details same as the previous exercise, except the camera is hand-held to allow for easier panning.

Exercise: Shutter Speeds

Ok my neighbours finally think I have lost the plot.

Have just spent the last half an hour photographing a pink hippo swinging from my washing line.

Exercise: Focus at different apertures.

Well the weather beat me again so my friends have made another return.

Project: Focus

It has taken me a while to complete this as the weather has been particularly bad here but then I found my friends 😀

Exercise: Focal length and angle of view

Well . . .

I have completed the task.

Nikon D60,  Nikkor 18-105mm lens.

It’s here!

My course information has just arrived!

Am both excited and scared.  Was very impressed with the presentation, all wrapped up in red tissue paper, posh ring binder even a pen 😀

Can’t get into the student website though, it has changed from the website guide that is included with the course information 😦

Not sure why but I am finding it very difficult to write my profile for my tutor.  hhmmm

HELP!!!

While I am waiting for the course work to arrive I decided to have a look at other students blogs . . . . . . . . . . . . .

BIG MISTAKE!!!

If that is the standard of work they are submitting at the beginning of the course then I am f*&)ed! Technically I am just as good as they are but when it comes to imagination, vision, creativity what ever you want to call it then I am a far from their level and I don’t think any course can teach that.

But I hope I am wrong.  Only time will tell.  But at the min I am one very scared bunny.

😦

Here we go . . .

Just registered for the first part of the Photography degree 🙂

Pre-course photos.

I decided to show some of the photos I have taken already.  This will, hopefully, show how I improve both technically and critically.  Please feel free to comment.

Candle light.

Dunluce Castle at sunset.

Bell Tower

Lady Penelope

A Rose by any other name . . . . . .

Lost at sea.

These are just a few of the hundreds of photos I have taken over the last few years.  Please if you do comment on them elaborate as to why you do or don’t like them.  This is  a learning tool for me and all feedback is valuable.

Thank you.

Hello world!

Welcome to my OCA Learning blog.

Other than that – HELP!!!

I’m not very good at writing about my feelings and thoughts so this in itself should be a good process.

Should be interesting anyway, hopefully not too boring.
