Photography Class

A few weeks ago I signed up for a photography class at Whatcom Community College. The class is once a week for five weeks. I've been going for three weeks and I have learned so much already.

I borrowed an old Minolta camera from Kerry's dad. I love it! It is old and heavy but it works well. Plus I'm one of the few people who have a film camera.

The other day we brought our pictures to class to show our trials (and in my case errors) of shutter speed and aperture. I had my film developed and for some reason a lot of the photos looked really old. Turns out my lens wasn't changing aperture at all. So all the pictures I took were all way overr exposed. Turns out my mistake made for some really awesome pictures.

Here are a few below

Without the cell phone it looks like the 1800's.









This is by far my favorite shot that I took!

Did you keep the "broken" lens? If you did, I think we should label it the Holga lens and do more experimenting with it. I love the effects.

Hopefully we'll foom a digital SRL soon.
