Assignment

The first assignment on the course (the Colour part that is) is called "Close Up" and we have to shoot pictures from within a metre on a 50mm focal length, with the pictures demonstrating shape, texture, pattern or colour.

So I'm toddling around with two cameras looking like a right geek at the moment.

I've shot two rolls of colour transparency film and just dropped them in this morning to get processed. Tomorow I'll pick them up and at college we'll learn how to mount the transparencies in slide holders.

Assuming that is that they are any good... it's quite different doing film to digital for abvious reasons, and I'm trying to use the Ansel Adams zoning system to get correct exposures, which takes a little bit of guesswork at the moment.

Still tomorrow we'll see how awful they are, or aren't.
