Blue Bird of happiness!

I was finally able to upload some pictures to my photography teacher for the online photography class I'm taking. The assignment was to shoot totally in manual mode, with you having to set all of your own settings...exposure, aperture, and shutter speed. I took lots of shots, but these are the 2 that I sent to Maggie. I'm happy to say she liked them and said she could offer no critique as they were fabulous shots worthy of framing. I consider it sheer luck that they turned out so well, but Maggie truly does make the settings on my camera not so scary! Next weeks lesson is on focusing, so am hoping to learn how to get my pictures more crisp. In my defense however, the bluebird picture I shot through my scrapbook room window (the window could have used a washing first...) to me it seemed a little fuzzy on the focus. But all in all, I am very pleased in what I am learning and hoping that I'll have awesome pictures to scrapbook someday!!

I'll be posting pics of next weeks scrapbook club layout hopefully today when I get a picture of it taken.

I'll also be posting next month's layouts (I've got them done already....can you believe that?) along with the details of the new service I'm offering starting in May. Have a happy Saturday!
