    Nik was brilliant , very patient and asked questions to gauge my level of understanding and experience. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get away from using their camera in automatic mode. This lesson has given me confidence and understanding of the core concepts of the exposure triangle ISO aperture and shutter speed. Nik gave some great tips and advice and I?m really looking forward to spending more time experimenting with my camera.

    I get motivation from photography projects which help me focus and give me a reason to get the camera out. One project this year is to capture the small details of our garden in Bath through the seasons. This image is of the first snowdrops emerging after the extreme cold of the last few weeks.

I stayed a few hours and got a lot of pictures of the falls lit up with different colors.I took this around 7:15pm and I took the photo using a two second timer with my Canon T7 rebel camera. The ISO was 6400 and I used portrait as the picture style versus landscape which was what I predominately shot in most of the night.The shutter speed was 1/20 and I originally show this as a raw photo.

    The photo was taken on the shore of Lake Ontario at Woodbine Beach Park. Whenever you take a photo of a sunrise or sunset, it is difficult to predict how nature will show you. Sometimes expectations are not met, but sometimes you receive a modest but magnificent gift. There was a small puddle on the shore of the lake from a recent rain and it was in it that the miracle of the sunrise appeared. Shot on a Samsung 21s mobile phone and processed in the phone in the Snapseed program.
