And I really thought I could do this?!

My text book is Photography: The Concise Guide by Bruce Warren


After 3 classes, I am still very overwhelmed! The teacher promises it only gets easier from this point on! Yeah RIGHT! Wish me luck, I'm not quitting now!

I wish you luck! My brother has a wonderful photography blog and is very helpful if you have any questions. Look at my side bar and click on My Viewfinder.

OH, I wish I was taking this class with you. It's more fun to be clueless together. It's all jibberish to me. We have the same camera and I love mine, but I know that I'm not using it to its full potential.
You are too kind to have something in the mail for my two charges! Much much too kind.

I think it is great that you are taking this class.

one day I would like to take a photo class.

Maybe when the children are older

Good luck with the class...if nothing else you will have the vocabulary down!

Sorry, I don't speak latin or is that dutch, all I know is I have no idea what your post is about. Maybe you should translate into english and then post the definitions so we all can start learning a few words in swedish.

Hey, you'll know way more than me. Don't give up. Learning all that will make you an awesome photographer!!

Maybe when my kids get older I can go take some classes, too. I love photography but I don't know if I would be good at all of the technical stuff.

Hang in there! I'm sure some of it will stick. I'm using "Digital SLR for Dummies" - great book, perhaps you could use it 'on the side' - they'd never know!
