Everyone seemed to enjoy our very first assignment the most which was to interpret the word 'sunshine'. Since I am longing for a vacation I thought it might be apropo to have it as assignment no. 09. For those that can't wrap their heads around vacation, I have doled out the option of 'staycation' which is urban vernacular for a "vacation" where you don't leave your zipcode. For my students that are chomping at the bit to try some 'technical' skills, I have added sunflare as a third option. The sunflare assignment will need one to adjust their aperture and shutter speed (uh-oh), which I know can be daunting but Miz Booshay over at Pioneer Woman has such a pleasant tutorial-Sun Flare for beginners that it won't hurt a bit. Yes, I wrote 'pleasant' Miz Booshay has such a pleasant demeanor, really and truly. I can attest to the fact that her tute works (and is simple enough, even for this here simpleton) because I tried it to make sure it wasn't too hard (unlike my last assignment that I failed miserably at but was able to get sunflare!).
I think this image by one of my new favorite photographers Krysta Manthe (she is as physically beautiful as she is talented which says a lot because she is REALLY talented) sums up all of the assignment 09's components perfectly--Vacation, Staycation (I live not so far from where this was shot) and Sunflare. This is a gorgeous inspiration shot which means not to copy but get inspired by the feeling of this image and make a capture that is your own (I totally know you can do it!).
We are still accepting students into our Souvenir Foto School and the price is still right--FREE! No need for a fancy schmancy camera as your excuse for not joining a lot of the students have point and shoot cameras and create such magic with them that you will surely be inspired to do the same. I hope to see you in class soon!
