One of my great wants in life has always been to take a photography class. I love photography, love taking snapshots. But I wanted to up my game and finally learn how to shoot you know, manually. Learn about shutter speed and aperture and everything. So I finally got off my behind and took an intermediate photography class.
Boy, did I learn a lot. And it was fun.
The final portfolio for this class consisted of 12 different shots, each fulfilling a specific assignment. Enjoy.
