The One with the Macro Extension Tubes

Inspired by my photography class, I ordered a bunch of accessories for my camera, including a set of extension tubes that would essentially convert my wide-angle lens into a macro lens and allow me to take extreme close-ups.  Here are some photos I took while experimenting with my extension tubes:

The One with the Supermoon

...sort of.  I didn't take any pictures of the super moon until a day or so later, when it wasn't as super.  Also I am still learning how to manage my own camera settings, so the pictures didn't turn out the greatest.  It was a bonus, however, when I realized I did in fact own a tripod (a random old one found in my husband's grandmother's house after she passed away) and that it worked with my camera.

The One with the Digital Photography Class

I took a fairly basic day-long digital photography class at Trident Technical College over the weekend.  I definitely learned some things, so hopefully I can put them to good use producing some photos for this blog.  Below are a couple of shots I took while doing my "homework" for the class during our lunch break.

The One on March 7 (very creative, I know)


These probably look exactly like a lot of my other photos because I don't get out too much these days. Oh well.
