Fine Art Nature Photography Class

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I debated about whether to add this discussion in the Photography group of here in the Art Cafe.  I'm thinking since my photos taken for this class will probably look a little more like "art" (at least I hope they do), it should probably be here.  I'm excited about the class.  I just finished the first lesson and it's confusing but intriguing at the same time.  I'm feeling like a total novice compared to the others in this class who have posted some of their prior work which is amazing.  They have big time equipment...I don't.  Anyway for me this is all about learning to look at things a little more creatively and having fun.  So, here are my first "assignment shots".  The instructor will critique them next Monday.  Since this is the first lesson, I'm pretty clueless about what she'll be looking for.  I'll let you know and add any key "learnings" to this discussion.

This one is actually tree mold that I thought looked pretty neat...

What a wonderful idea about donating the proceeds from the sunflowers. These photos are once again wonderful. I love the black and white sunflowers and that gorgeous purple cosmos.

Love them Jane.   The B/W of the sunflowers is wonderful!     I'm addicted to Cosmos.....such a great flower.

Here is one of my shots.
