    Since I was the only one that signed up, I had a one on one with the instructor, and it was very informative session. She explained everything in detail and gave some good examples of different portrait styles. She has a lot of patience and class was good.

    I was able to learn what I needed to understand about my camera. The only thing was the class ended an hour earlier. I signed up for 3 hours and I just felt that even if the information was all taught . I felt that one hour is still one hour of being taught was cut short. Whether it was just two people in the class or 10. We sign up for a three hours of lessons. I guess my expectations were high.

    So glad I took this class! I had a new camera that I really had no idea how to use. I learned the basics and now I love experimenting with the different settings.

    I had noticed this beautiful bird visiting my backyard daily in the spring . I noticed it was drawn to one of the flowering trees I have in the backyard so I setup my camera on one of the days and was able to get several shots.

    Title or Location: Iceland
    This photo was taken in July in Iceland where this species of purple flower is called lupin related to the Texas blue bonet. It was planted for soil erosion, but got invasive and widespread. The purple flower enhances the landscape photography like this one.

    Title or Location: Laguna Vista
    On my first ever visit to Laguna Vista Nature Walk looking to photograph a painted bunting during spring migration I saw this lone purple thistle amongst the flowers and thought it'd be a good composition. As I developed the photo I noticed a snail perched on a stem to the left, how wonderful!

    Title or Location: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
    This was sunset time at Great Sand Tunes National Park here in Colorado. Any time of time is amazing there to see this natural wonder in person, but sunrise and sunset times I feel are the best as the ever changing shadows just give the dunes such a different look and mood and changes by the minute, I choose a little slower shutter speed just to soften things somewhat and really like how this turned out.
