I'm going to be {RICH}!

Ok, not really, but close;)  This past Saturday evening I went to a photography class that Mr. D had bought for me as a Mother's Day gift (yes, I just barely redeemed it, it's effing HOT in TX, I wasn't going to walk around outside in a thousand degree heat for photos!).  This was a 4 hour class and definitely well worth the information!  I learned SO MUCH more about my camera (I have a Nikon D5100) than I think I ever could.  

After the first 2 hours we were given an assignment sheet to capture certain elements outside.  First up was a Close-up/details (shallow depth of field), such as a flower, grass, berries, etc.... 

This one was my favorite I took. 

Our instructor for the evening thought this one I took was a good one (I still  like the one above this one better, but I'm not a professional so what do I know?) 

We had to pair up for the assignment, this woman was my partner (her name was Deborah, we laughed a lot, maybe too much at our mistakes!)  But if you didn't guess, our second assignment was to photograph a portrait (shallow depth of field).  I think I captured her well, you'd hire me right? 

Third up in our assignments was to photograph a waterfall (movement).  We had to play with our ISO as well as to do a fast and slow shutter movement on these ones. 

I think I accomplished the assignment pretty good.  I think I had way more garbage photos than good ones though, but that's probably normal, right?  Right?? 

Last up on our assignment sheet was to photograph a scenic landscape (deep depth of field).  I think if I edit this particular photo it may be my favorite of the night:)

All these photos were taken in RAW format so no editing has been done on any of them.  If I upload these into my Lightroom software I could be RICH!!  (Come on, work with me here!)  I had so much fun at this class, the 4 hours breezed by!  I would actually take this same class again to get even more out of the class.

So, who wants to hire me first for their photography needs?  (*Disclaimer: I am not responsible for horrible photos.  I'M KIDDING!  not really.)
