DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY WITH DSLR

Homework Week:1

Ron asked us to post 3 photos- Landscape, portrait, Macro or flash straight from camera  without any modification with software except converting to Jpeg and perhaps sharpening. Also he wants us to repeat the same exercise in 5 weeks time at the end of the course.

As here in UK we have had very wet, dull and virtually no sun this summer, I have posted one landscape which I took couple of months ago and another one which I took today when we had momentary dry spell! You will notice I had to push up ISO to 1000 today to get some sort of acceptable histogram in the 2nd photo of Golden Acre Park.
