Les Jones: Photography Class Looks Promising

Photos > Photography Class Looks Promising

I enjoyed the first class tonight. After all of the introductions and such we dipped into the basics of exposure and metering. For the first four classes we're doing everything in manual mode to force us to learn the basics.

P.S. - There was a center aisle in the classroom. The students somehow managed to segregate themselves almost completely, with Nikon owners on one side of the aisle and Canon owners on the other. There was roughly one each of Sony, Panasonic and Olympus cameras present.

Where did you take your class at? My girlfriend does photography and has a Nikon D40. Recently she mentioned something about wanting a Canon though...

Any subjects in particular that you are interested in?

The segregation made me laugh. The teacher should force integration before things get violent.

Kyle: It's a class in the UTK non-credit school. Interests for me are travel and family.

Fletch: Yep, it was all Canonites on one side and Nikonians on the other. ;-)
