Hello! I’m still here. I’m glad you are too!

I took a little break from blogging as I focused all my extra energy (and online time) taking photographs. The class from Ashley Ann photography was absolutely top notch. If you can get into one of her Snap Shops, I highly, highly recommend going for it.

I can now confidently shoot in manual! It’s a big deal!

After the course I understand the magic trifecta of ISO, aperture and shutter speed, and (more importantly) I can manipulate them on the fly to capture the picture I want to take.

Here are some great examples from the course. We had several homeworks to do and upload to a flickr group for comments and suggestions. Everyone, especially Ashley, was gentle and kind and supportive.

As I’ve mentioned before, photography is important to me. Every photo is a time capsule. What a blessing to bottle up each one.

Expect more regular posting from now on! Phew!
