Candice commented on Facebook:
I can just see it now… ‘Photography 102, Week 2: Take a photograph featuring critical Wootness. Make sure to document your aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and adjust each one stop above and below.”
That comment just made my day!
Candice is a student in my Photography 102 class that started this week. She had been in the Photography 101 class this summer and decided to take the next step.
The 101 class was lots of fun and many creative assignments were completed
Photography 102 is massively different. We’re getting down to the nitty gritty and learning to shoot in manual mode. The first class was spent discussing stops. Oh my goodness – it was tough. I had to stop and figure out a way to explain some things in plainer English than I’m used to so that these students, who were new to the concept could grasp it more readily. They asked questions and we went through a number of examples and questions until everyone had it figured out. After the 3 hour class, MY brain hurt, so I’m sure they were a little overwhelmed, too.
So, here were are, several days later and they are reading the Wootness articles (part of their homework) and making comments, and along comes this gem of a comment from Candice. She not only is speaking in very technical camera-geek terminology, but she also seems to have a superior grasp on the concept of Wootness.
I need a moment. Talk amongst yourselves.
