    I really enjoyed the class. I had taken the Beginners Photography Class previously. This class was the next step for me to work on my photography skills. Rebecca does a great job of explaining composition options to make interesting photos. And the need to change settings to compensate for different lighting and focus situations. She chose a great location for shooting photos for this topic.

    Wandering the forest is my passion. Shapes, textures, and light catch my eyes from every direction. Sometimes small details and other times wide expanses. This time it was a wide-open field with a backdrop of trees and sky. Early November 2023.Nikon Z7ii - Z 24-200 @55mm, f8 A priority, 1/400, ISO 64 RAW Processed in Lightroom Classic

    This shot was taken in the middle of the summer during golden hour. I used Photoshop to really enhance the greens and yellows to be more of a golden hue, which is probably my favorite part of the image. I'm not an experienced model but I've loved photography for years Only recently have I realized I enjoy being both behind and in front of the camera. Shot with Canon 80D with an 80mm lens.

    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
