Sometimes I just want to talk about random crap. No theme, no rules, just…whatever. That’s what I Do What I Want posts come in. This is where I…well, do whatever the hell I want. Enjoy…and be very afraid.

I am taking a photography class for fun. I have about two weeks left in the semester. Yay, almost done. I thought I would share some of my homework assignment photos I took during the class. They aren’t perfect but they were fun to take. I am still learning. Enjoy!

I had to take a picture of something colorful then turn in a black and white version as well. This is an old lantern I have.

    Wow, you’re a talented photographer, thanks for sharing your pictures 🙂 I love the koi pound and the old lantern, but the others too. While I’m thinking about it, what camera would you recommend to a beginner photographer ?… (Your cat’s name is Castiel !)

      I did a lot of research on cameras before I bought one. I would recommend the Canon Rebel T5. It’s great for beginners and still is good when you become more professional, plus it’s on the cheaper side at about $400-500 depending on what extras you get.

    Cool pics! If you haven’t already, you should put them up for sale on some of the image sites, they are certainly good enough.

    Okay… so you gonna tell us all your secrets now that your a pro? These photos are amazing! I basically know how to point and click. I tried looking up “how-to” tutorials online but they use a lot of technical words that go way over my head.

      I would honestly suggest a beginning photography class. it really helps make all those tutorials make sense.

      LOL, when did I say that? I can’t even remember. That was a long time ago. She was just a girlfriend, no ol’ lady. She does have stories though. 🙂

    I love the idea of these posts. And pretty much, your photography is very good! I love the different angles of some things you have chosen. I also love the photo montage. It’s a cool idea!

      Thanks! My teacher said the montage one was just okay, so that’s nice to hear you liked it.
