Homework from my first photography class

Jeff's bike headlight and tail light--blurred motion (slow shutter speed)

"Down came the rain and washed the spider out" (fast shutter speed)

Foreground, middle ground, and background in focus (infinite depth of field--small aperture)

Quaking aspen (shallow depth of field--wide aperture)

Hobby Update

I am not wasting my birthday gift! I finally found a photography class to take. It's just a start--one hour a week on Thursday evenings, for four weeks--but I am excited to take it, and excited to be doing something to nurture myself. I hope to be posting some fun, maybe even amazing photos soon.
