Day one after Class

I took my basic photography class last night.  I learned a lot, and learned I don't know a lot.  But was able to try out a few settings.

Auto

Landscape with a wide shot

Then crop the picture

Then crop some more. Since it was a wide shot, the whole picture stays sharp even after cropping

Portrait with zoom for softer background

Action mode

Pay attention to placement and composition

 And on a cold day like today, wear gloves with finger tips cut off.  OK I didn't learn that in class, but it was really cold this morning.
