Truth be... there isn't much to see in my town. I mean, it's okay, but there really aren't any big monuments, or buildings or bridges..and I could get much better pictures during the summer. Something interesting about my town however is this: It is legal to drive snowmobiles in the town. We are snowmobile central, or sleds...as many call it. I have never owned my own, nor do I care to....but it is a bit interesting that there is an exception to the rule here. Just going to share a few pictures I took this week, CC welcome, but I can't seem to open PS to get my settings... Thx for looking! Oh, hey...I started my photog. class Wednesday "Getting to know your camera" it's AWESOME! I was afraid I would be too much of a beginner OR it would be too basic, and boring. It's actually perfect for me, where I am at right now! In the first class (3hrs long) We covered all the major topics: Aperture, f/stops...composition, ISO, DOF, manual modes...how they all work together to get proper exposure. It was great..some people there had amazing cameras, and a few students had point and shoots with 3.2 megapixel, a wide range. Next class we go straight to the studio to play with backdrops, reflectors and lights!! I can't wait. I have some homework, and I will post the assignment/my results tomorrow and Sunday. I'd like to have it all done by Sunday Night. (Sorry this post was so long!)

Adrienne, the photgraphy course sounds great - covering lotsa stuff. Thank you for the comments you have left on my blog - you are way too kind. I must be hard to get motivated to get outside and take pics with the weather you are having. You'll have to take some pics around your town in Summer.

I know how you feel about things to photograph for small towns. My pictures have been less than interesting. I like your conversions on your pics. Love the one of him cooking. So Cute!
