Tie a white ribbon

I went to newtown cemetery on Wednesday with my friend B.

I have a bit of a thing about cemeteries, I think they're really pretty. I got some nice shots so here they are.







I like reading how people die on their headstones. It's really interesting!



For reasons unknown to me, someone had tied white ribbons on one of the trees.

Straight 'A's

Yes.

Three more assignments, three more 'A's.

I am officially a nerd.

These assignments were a lot less specific as well so I didn't even need to pick up my camera. I just rifled through my files and found something to fit the criteria. The upcoming ones may not be so easy.

My course is now half way finished! Hoorah!

Easy A

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.
