Katherine’s first truck experience

I got a new DSLR camera in September for my birthday. It is really nice and can take great pictures. It could do so many things but I did not know how to do them. I compared it’s ability and it’s usage to if you had a Ferrari but only drove it up and down your driveway. I know that to get the intended use out of the camera I really needed to take some classes. So, I am taking a class at Richland Community College. It has really helped me to learn how to take better pictures. I know I still have a lot more to learn but I am improving.

 This week we learned about light. We had an assignment to take several specific pictures.  So, as usual I loaded up the family and made an afternoon event out of my photo shoot. We went to White Rock and took Sam’s truck (don’t worry Katherine rode in the other car with me). We took the dog and had a picnic.

Here are my photos.
