Through the Lens – Assignment 1

I think I mentioned that I hope to learn to take better pictures with my camera (a Canon S5 is) with the help of this blogger, Hallie over at From the Rubber Room. Every couple of weeks we have a new assigment for our “course” “Through the Lens: Digital Photogrpahy 101” and for the first one we were supposed to read our camera’s manual.

Wouldn’t you know that my camera has 2 manuals? An easy one and an “advanced” one. I read all of the easy one (well, yeah… that was easy!) and then got to the more advanced stuff and let’s just say, some of it is a little um… advanced for me. Hmph.

I did learn a little more about the zoom functions and so I present a picture of some flowers in my backyard as my first completed assignment (due today – hope I am not too late!)

Thanks again Hallie, for helping educate us more and I can’t wait to find out what the next homework is! (I do believe that is THE first time I have ever said that…)
