Photography fun

I've been having a pretty good week and it's hard to believe it's nearly over. How has yours been?

I was happy to receive all four flavors of the newest Larabar, ūber, this week. I had purchased the bananas foster flavor a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed that bar.







Tried the roasted nut roll today as a snack and I liked this flavor more than the bananas foster one!





I finally learned how to take a screen shot of my iPhone and took a photo of my favorite podcast, Dishing up Nutrition, which I was listening to on a lunch break.





I went over to my brother's house on Tuesday to give him some info on interviewing for a job and get a copy of his resume. In return, we got three different types of tomato plants from my green thumbed brother! Can't wait to have a garden again!





Last night, I had to make a quick meal for dinner so I poached two eggs up in the poached egg pan I love so much. I can't imagine poaching eggs without it and it's my favorite way to eat them.





My sandwich included lettuce from my bro's garden, tomato, Frank's Red Hot and some cheese.





Then I dashed off to an Advanced Digital Photography class through the Milwaukee rec department. I learned so much in two hours!



I was happy to finally know more about taking pictures with our Canon DSLR. I wish I could share everything I learned, but it's all so very technical. If you've always wanted to learn how to get into manual mode with your camera, take a class and you'll be happy you did! It helped that our teacher was excellent and he is a newspaper photographer, so it's something he does every single day.



We "went on assignment" and he taught us how we would adjust the camera for action, a beach scene, portrait, etc. It was a good approach for helping us learn directly about why we would adjust the camera that way and how pictures can turn out poorly if you don't.



Have you ever taken a photography class? I hadn't taken one since getting an A in my college photography class. That was when film still existed and digital was just coming out on the market! I loved developing film and experimenting with the camera.
