k9 cuteness

fast shutter speed and adorable subjects... but not that i'm bias :)

crane

so i'm taking a photography class to learn about fstops, shutter speed, iso and light. so far its been a hoot. we had an assignment this week to learn and practice with depth of field (longest and shortest lens, f3.5 and f16 for each combo). he said be creative - so i did. i used my old fashioned origami skills to create cranes out of magazine ads. i thought it was clever. here are some of my best shots (in my opinion). granted i knwo i need a lot of work, but what do you think?

i was going for the reflection in the coffee table - so glad i dusted prior to taking this :)

this is me practicing with my new camera at a wedding this weekend.

i got my new camera today - i am the proud owner of a nikon d80 digital SLR. So far i have taking some great pictures and can't wait to get outside and really start to play with it. i know it's probably not that interesting, but here's a picture of my shoes that i thought turned out quite nicely for the newbie that i am :)
