Taken as part of a college course. Thourghouly enjoyed and the skills I picked up helped me with my travel photos.

I took a photography class at East Tennessee State University as part of my undergraduate studies im 1986.

It was late on a Friday night and I was feeling sad, alone, and that life was passing me by. I was midnight, and I aimlessly searching the Internet to see if there was something I could get involved in. A random search I came across a photography class that was being held the very next day. I wish I could say I signed up, and didn't doubt myself but I did. It was really my husband who said I should do it. I needed a push, an okay to invest $100 in me.  The class taught me how to use my DSLR class. I was lucky in that only three people were in my class. (The morning class was filled.) I went from depressed to inspired in such a short time. I have so much practicing to do. Lens to shop for. I see an intermediate class in my future.

Most people aren't going to find happiness just sitting at home every week. 

I made it ! haha :p

(Even if I couldn't end the year because of my "real study")

So I'll start it again when I'm finished studying ;) 

I have been passionate about photography since my mom gave me her old brownie camera. I am finally able to afford a good camera but don't currently have time to take the photography class.

I took the photography class in January.  It's taking a lot to learn to use a DSLR.  I took come cool pics of waterfalls at Ricketts Glen State Park in Oct. 2014.

Sophmore year of high school; with Mr. Jackson.

took it junior year for a semester

 Took a semester at school of it!

if you will go to travel, you need to know how take a picture

 I completed an online course and it gave some really great ideas about light and style, shutter speed and appeture which should help me to 'fix' some of my images when the automatic settings aren't capturing what I want to see in my photograph.

It was my freshmen year of high school. 1st semester. 

Starting with Classes in 2015. Doing a lot of photography in my spare time. Now time to do a course.

 i've started the class in 2016

 Eventhoug i like photography alot I didnt enjoy this class so much because i couldnt manage to work well because i didnt have a good camara. 

 This was before digital became the primary means of taking photos. I learned how to develop my own film, and I even set up my own dark room at one point. 

Did in 2013, plus ongoing classes online. 

ive done this several times!!! :)
