Through The Lens: Digital Photography 101 - Assignment 1

Today, I joined the Yahoo! group ThroughTheLens-DigitalPhotography101@yahoogroups.com. This group was created by an amateur photographer for amateur photographers as a means to learn photography tips and techniques with each other. I believe it is a wonderful platform to use to learn and share various aspects of digital photography. I'm really looking forward to it.

The first assignment is to read the camera manual and then go out and take some pictures. Having had my Nikon D40x for a year now, I've found that the manual is a necessity when "auto" mode just doesn't cut it. So, for the first assignment, I'm a step ahead. I've already read the manual. As for the photos, I've posted some images that I captured just two days ago.

It was supposed to be a foggy morning. I wasn't sleeping well, so I got up early to take advantage of the fog. By the time I arrived at my destination at Watkin's Mill Park in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, the fog had already burned off. I still took time to take pictures. Hereafter are a few examples.
