Final Exam

Today was my final exam in Introduction to Digital Photography. I believe I did really well -- another 100% I feel. If so, that means I made it all the way through an 8-week course without getting a single question wrong on a quiz or test. I can say with confidence that I have never done that before! LOL!!

I am a little sad that this class has come to an end because I don't think there are any classes left to take if I am not going major in photography & use it as a career. I could learn these things, but I know I will never use them. That doesn't mean my fun class career is over. I have a few other ideas running through my head. :)

Digital Photography Class

I nailed last week's quiz just as I thought! 114 pts out of a possible 114! A couple extra credit questions, obviously! ;)

Home Sweet Home

Home from Chicago around 1:00PM and left for my photography class 10 minutes later. Boy am I tired this evening. Think I nailed that quiz though! :)

Missed It

The semester has come to a close. Today was my first Friday without class, and I missed it! I can't believe I missed it as much work as it was...LOL!!

Back to Normal & a B

Today was run errands with grandma day! Last time we were out was about three weeks ago. It was nice to see her again. Before our trip I was spending all my spare time working on my semester project for view camera class. That class really kicked my behind. It was a lot of work. The quizzes and tests were TOUGH! This morning before going to pick up grandma, I stopped by school to pick up the photos I dropped off before our trip. I got a B+ on my project & a B for the class. I am VERY happy with that considering there were photo majors who got lower grades and needed the final exam curved to pass the class. :O

Next up will be Introduction to Digital Photography. It's a two hour lecture only class. There will be no photography assignments. I will miss those, but am interested in learning more about the technical aspects of digital.

Got Camera; Will Shoot

This morning I went to check a view camera out of the camera "library" at school. I plan to begin work on my semester project aka thematic series. My series doesn't have a title yet, but I will be taking photographs of the stamp the beer brewing industry left on Milwaukee -- more specifically the one left by Frederick Pabst. I plan photograph his home, his tombstone, the area that was once Pabst Brewing Company. It is currently under construction -- some areas of the old brewery house new businesses and residences, others are still be transformed for the new intended uses. I hope at least two of those new use areas will allow me inside to photograph. I also hope the Pabst Theater will do the same.

I am really excited about this project -- fingers crossed I will be able to pull it off as planned!

I Did It

FINALLY, a 100% on a quiz in view camera! It took 8 quizzes, but I finally got one! Woohoo!

To Dos

Why is it that the days you feel your worst are the same days your to do list is a mile long? I have a lot to do to get ready for my view camera class tomorrow. I know I will get it done, but it is going to take a bit longer than usual with this cold. Deep breaths...I will get it all done!!

Tackling the Beast!

I actually used the view camera today, and totally love it! It's certainly a different beast! It is really strange to see the subject upside down and reversed. It will take some time to get used to that & which way to move the camera to adjust the crop in the frame. Yes, I moved it the wrong direction & lost my subject a couple times...LOL!!
