Digital Photography course

    After a lot of persuasion from my wife I finally decided to do an evening photography course over the past couple of months. Having been involved in an accident in 2008 I've been out of work and decided to take up a new hobby in order to keep my mind active....and my bank balance low!!!:(:eek::p Up until now anything I've learned about digital photography (which is infinitely minute compared to the talent that you guys/gals have) has been from books, internet and through trial and error. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never read any of my camera manuals!:o
    Anyhow, in the run up to the end of the photography course we had a small competition with a theme of "Colours" and my image was chosen as the winner! While the monetary value of the prize was low...the resulting confidence boost has been enormous :).
    I'd thoroughly recommend that all newbies like myself enroll in a photography course in order to gain a little bit extra knowledge about your camera and camera equipment.

    Here's my winning entry...(some of you may have seen it previously in the random photo thread)

    Shot using a Nikon D300 and Kiron 105mm f2.8 manual focus macro lens (my latest camera gear acquisition).


    Edit: I forgot to mention....it's a pic of some waterdrops on a CD.

    Cheers! It was this one. Tbh, I knew many of the aspects covered by the course beforehand, but it was good to put that knowledge into practice and being able to get instant feedback to my questions was a huge help.
