Digital Photography was such a fun class to take this semester! I learned so many new things about my camera, and even cutting glass and framing pictures!
My professor's name is Hendrick, but we call him Hennie. He is one of those natural professors who really loves to teach and loves what he does. He took us on practicals in Cape Town, animal reserves, and other nearby places to get good pictures for our final exhibition. He wanted us to learn to take pictures in different modes with our camera. For example, taking a picture of a moving item (ex: a car or bird), using your flash outside, pictures at night, portraits, landscapes, shallow depth of field, black and white, macro, and more.
These picture are of our last practical where Hennie took us to his house where he has his own framing studio. He taught us to cut glass and we go to use the machine to cut the wood for the frame and staple it together. As you can see below, I was the one unfortunate person who made a mistake with the framing....I guess it had to be someone haha. I got a lot of crap because the Americans had just lost the rugby game the night before, so Hennie said at least it wasn't as embarrassing as that :)
