Might not seem like a big deal to you... BUT

...it's HUGE for me! I took an amazing all-day photography workshop from Carin Davis on Saturday and I finally learned how to use an "adult camera." No point-and-shoot for me baby! Believe it or not, I "went manual" and adjusted f-stops (aperture), ISO and shutter speeds for every shot. I'm still in shock that I even know what those things mean. I didn't even use Photoshop after I downloaded (that's the next class I need to take btw). So here are a few of my raw attempts at what I learned in class yesterday...

Overall, a fantastic day of learning and enjoying being with other beginning photographers. Thank you Carin!!!
