I've taken a couple of classes since the last time I posted. I took a 4 week SLR class at Bedford Camera in October. I enjoyed being around other adults and talking camera things, but I was a little disappointed that I already knew most of what was covered. It made me feel good to realize that my self-guided studying has actually given me a decent basic knowledge pool, but now I'm kind of stuck with a "where do I go next?" question because this is the only class that Bedford offers and the local colleges don't seem to have any intermediate classes. The instructor suggested that we check out the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas (PSNWA). He said that they are very active and have regular speakers and group shoots and sometimes classes. I checked into it was interested, so I went ahead and paid dues and am officially a member now. And I joined just in time to be able to sign up for a class about lenses. The instructor was Greg Disch, and WOW! What a great instructor! Halfway through the class I thought, "This single class is worth the membership dues!" So I'm hopeful that I will be able to learn more and learn it quickly.
Here are a couple of pretty fall pictures to say happy Thanksgiving to you :) I took them for one of my assignments during the Bedford class. I think it was a depth of field assignment. Anyway, have a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving, and don't get too crazy out there on black Friday!
