Through the Lens: Digital Photography 101
For all of you that expressed interested in the photography workshop, I am introducing Through the Lens: Digital Photography 101. A workshop for anyone that wants to improve their photography skills.
I have started a Yahoo Group that I will use to send out the starting date, reminders and or any news about the assignments. Please join only if you would like to be on the mailing list. This is strictly for updates on this workshop. You do not have to join the group to participate. I have formed the Yahoo group as a convenience to prevent anyone from missing an assignment. Also, if an assignment has to be postponed, I will have the ability to give you a heads up.
If you choose not to join the Yahoo group, but still want to keep track of the assignments, look for the page Through the Lens, right up there on the left sidebar under Twaddle.
So what do you need to take this workshop? Well… for one, a camera. To follow along with the assignments you should have at least a 3 mega pixel camera with optional manual settings, (allows you to change the aperture and shutter speed.) If you do not have the ability to change the settings on your camera, you are absolutely still welcome to join, but will have a hard time following along with many of the assignments.
You will also need a place to upload your photos, such as a blog or a Flickr account. When you are done with the assignment you will come back to this blog and link to your finished photos, wherever you have uploaded them. If you are uploading your photos to an photo account and then uploading them to your blog, I recommend Flickr’. Some places will compress your files during your upload, which causes a loss in quality. Flickr’ allows you to upload without compression on even large files.
Lastly, you are required to have understanding for the person teaching this workshop because I am NOT A PROFESSIONAL! So please have patience with little ol’ me. I am learning as we go too. Have any suggestions? Well, bring ‘em on; I’m listening and I looove suggestions.
When do we start you ask? The date of the first assignment will be June 20th barring any natural disasters or Hallie disasters. Don’t laugh, those of you that know me can attest to the truthfulness of this statement.
You can join here: ThroughTheLens-DigitalPhotography101-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. After clicking this link, just send an email expressing your desire to join the group, or a blank email is fine also.

Good morning, Hallie, dearest. Today is Tuesday.
I realize you’re ahead of me in terms of time zones, but that only makes up for a couple of hours. It’s still awhile until Wednesday.
The wagon shot is very cute, though! Love the way the bright red pops! Your daughter, on the other hand, doesn’t look to sure of this wagon riding gig. LOL!
Okay, you can dump my previous comment, if you’d like. I do love the bright red of the wagon. Very cool.
thanks for the link, Girl! Can’t wait for the first assignment!
What a precious picture! I just love it, she looks like she’s enjoying the ride.
Here is my WW post for today. Have a great day!
The photo is beautiful – so crisp! – and the photo workshop is a cool idea. Count me in!
When I was young I loved my red wagon. We lived on a hill, and the kids on our street would spend hours riding our wagons down the hill.
So colourful and crisp!
I just linked to your workshop and posted about a giveaway I’m hosting in two weeks!
haha..the expression!
happy WW!
I just love how your pics are so crisp. The photos of your daughter’s tea party were beautiful and reminded me of pics I’ve seen in magazines.
Wow.
I want to do the workshop – but I’m concerned about time. We’ll see.
