This week we're taking pictures in color and converting in the photo editing program of our choice to black and white.Here is the link to the photos I turned in for this assignment.
This blog was set up as a requirement for the digital photography class I took in 2009 at St. Louis Community College. The blog is linked to a photo storage site where the class assignments were posted. I immediately liked having a blog and started posting. I have taken film classes and posted some papers I wrote about films. In 2013 the web site Digital Media Journey was built. I have lately been taking art history classes. The image of the windmill below will link to my web site.

Macro or Getting in Close
I needed to read the instruction booklet to learn how to use the macro and super macro functions on the camera. Wind was a problem for the outdoor flower shots. Without a tripod, moving the camera after focusing was a problem. Choosing which area to focus on was a challenge. I quickly realized I was using a camera and not a microscope. I backed off a little more and got better pictures.
Here is the link to see my first attempt at using the macro functions.

Portrait Lighting
Tony calls it the $20 portrait studio. I had an old clip on desk lamp, so my garage studio was only $13. I had the subjects too close to the background. They should have been 3 – 4 feet from the screen. Here is the link to see the portraits I took.
