Ok. Today I start my new OU course T189 Digital Photography and very excited I am about it too. I have my cameras at the ready: Canon EOS 350D, (an SLR) and a small Olympus FE-100 ‘pocket-sized’ model, and my software (Photoshop Elements) loaded.
I hasten to add that I didn’t buy the cameras for the course, I had them anyway. I use my pocket sized one mostly because it has fewer knobs and buttons. The Canon puts the fear of God into me if I’m honest, hence signing up for ten weeks intensive training.
However, the Canon does come into its own when I want to take action shots of my son and dog, neither of whom sit still long enough for me to be able use the Olympus. Because of the delay between me clicking the button and the camera ‘firing’ I generally manage to snap thin air, a foot, or the tip of a tail!
The course looks interesting. Think I’ll read through Session 1 first then go back to attempt the exercises and this week’s assignment.
