Photographs

Once again, I must apologise for slacking with my blog. I haven't had much time at all for it.
One of the things that has kept me busy is a photography course that I am attending. It is for home-schoolers and very in depth! Our teacher is mainly showing us how the camera works with apertures and the like. I have found out so many things with our camera that I never knew were on it (Example 1: taking pictures black and white. Example 2: changing the ISO according to the darkness/brightness. I never even knew that there were such things as an ISO!)
In 2 weeks we have three papers to fill out, taking 15 photographs. 5 with a dark background, 5 with a light background and 5 in shade. I have three photos left to take in dark background. Well, here are a few of the shots I've taken for practice that I thought you may like. The top one was taken on the way to the class and the second was taken during.



All of the girls' feet.

The last one is my favourite! And the feet one is cool, I've done that tons of times with my friends. You should try doing it with the fingers. You fold your fingers in a way that only the middle and index ones are visible, then place them as a star... take a look: http://bp0.blogger.com/_ydSRyrKy5d0/R-AhBfTJ5CI/AAAAAAAAAGg/q-0YV5myzIw/s1600-h/IMG_0018.JPG
This pic is of some friends and I at a retreat. We had fun taking late-night pictures!

Hi Rachael,

I saw on your twitter page that you wanted to know how to change the word "comments" on your blog. Did you figure it out?

If you haven't all you have to do is go to "layout" off your dashboard. Make sure you are on "page elements". Click edit on "Blog Post". Once you are on there you should be able to change it. I hope this helps and I hope I understood your question correctly.
