Welcome to class!
This is going to be a great quarter, and we're going to have a very good time making some terrific images together. I love this stuff.
Be sure to check this blog each week before you come to class so you know where to meet and any special things you might need to bring along. We will usually meet at The Studio, 106 North Church Street, right behind Zion's Bank, and just next to Cafe Ibis downtown.
Also, find me on Facebook, or send an email anytime.
I strongly recommend joining the Cache Valley Photographers (link) so that you have other people here in the valley to communicate with, and join in other activities when ever you have time.
Be sure to charge your batteries and empty your memory cards. This'll be great.

Labor Day, No Class
Not to say you don't have class because it's labor day--I think you're all very classy. Howver, we still won't hold class tonight. Enjoy the day shooting.
I'll see you Thursday for our critique session, which will be our last class. 6:00 at the studio, bring your favorite two pictures and we'll discusss them and talk about what might have been better. We'll have a full house, so please just bring two.
You might also need to bring your own folding chair...and feel free to stick around for the club meeting afterward when the critiques will continue!
Sign up for the lib by clicking on that link to the right at the top that says Cache Valley Photogrpahers. It's free, and you'll get notices when we have more classes or get togethers to go shooting. Starting next month we'll be having much more regular activities, so don't miss out!

No Class
Friends,
I'm terribly sorry, but I will not be in class again this week. I'm sitting in the airport right now, heading for Atlanta. This was a last minute trip, with tickets purchased last night! Actually, I'm on standby, so I hope I get on the plane.
So, for monday's class, you should do some shooting. My plan was to go up to the campus again and work with the buildings and particularly with reflections. Remember to pay close attention to the entire frame as you compose your photographs. Make sure that there are not funny intersections of lines, or cigarette butts sitting on the ground. Take care and do a little pre production work to save yourself trouble in post production (Photoshop).
Remember, too, that you are welcome to come to both classes next week to make up for missing this week. We do different things in each class and emphasize different techniques depending on the group, so don't feel like you will be repeating anything.
And for those of you more daring, here's a tougher assignment
Keep shooting, and I'll see you soon.

On second thought...
Actaully, we're gonna have to not officially have class, tonight--I'm still sick. But, I welcome you to come downtown and do the assignment anyway! We were going to be practicing a little motion photography.
This is an instance when you might use shutter speed priority mode. Set your shutter speed to about 1/60 of a second and go to the corner on main street and shoot cars roving by. Also, set you focus to continuous--AFC on Nikons, and servo on canons. This will allow the cameras to continue focussing as cars draw nearer. So, focus on a car in motion, and pan your body with jit as it goes, keeping the car in the same position in the view finder, and fire away. Your goal is to get the car sharp and the background blurry. Don't stop at one, and don't stop at 1/60: try going slower, too.
Have fun!
