I submitted my first assignment for my correspondence course the other day.
For the first time in I can't remember how long I got an A! Yes an A! How funny. I don't think I've gotten an A since year 11... If that. They sort of stopped giving us letter grades when we started the HSC.
Anyway, the task was to take a fast shutter shot of a water droplet, with a shallow depth of field and I fit the brief well enough to get an A. So here it is, for your enjoyment.
The water drop itself isn't quite in focus but it was pretty difficult considering I was using my fixed lens.
I'm actually half way through my course now. I read two more lessons today and submitted the next three assignments so I've just got four assignments left! Mucho Excitamundo! The assignments should be getting a bit more involved soon. The three I just submitted were fairly general so I just went through my archives and found suitable photos.
Soon I'll actually have a qualification. It's pretty exciting stuff.
