More photography

Hello again! I've just finished taking a 3-week photography class taught by John Perez at the Indianapolis Art Museum. It was fun; maybe a bit too much oriented towards cameras with manual controls, which I don't have, but I think I still learned a lot, including how to do some fun effects! Here are some of my colour shots. I've also posted some black and white shots on my other blog, Jill Blogz (see the link to the right).

One of the things we learned about was keeping some parts of the image sharp and blurring others (depth of field). Here are some examples.







And here are some fun effects created by moving the camera on purpose! The first one was taken while standing on an escalator.



And the next two I took at home. The first one was taken looking at my stash of fabric; the second one focused on one of my small quilts. Cool, eh??
