I finally bought a tripod. And she’s a beauty. Not one but two levels (good-bye tipsy horizon lines), light weight and compact, yet sturdy enough for my needs. Cross that off the list and pat myself on the back.
Since I didn’t think Lesson 4 applied to my digital camera, I spent my photography time buying the tripod. Although the first two assignments required film, upon reading my camera’s instruction manual, I realized the third assignment on white balance did apply. Return pat on the back for that oversight.
However, I’m realizing more and more the limitations of my Cybershot. It’s a great vacation camera, but isn’t doing what I want. It’s also putting a thin red streak down one side of photos. So…
I’ve decided to buy an SLR, and have officially put the project on hold until it arrives. This might require a bit of backtracking (remember those #$%^&* depth of field exercises?) but at least I’ll have a fighting chance.
In the meantime, I feel I’ve brought you here on false pretenses. So, I’m going to upload some of my pre-lesson photos. Feel free to comment, but you’re under no obligation.
Thanks for dropping by and I’ll see you when I’ve got my SLR in hand and figured out.
