We learnt how to take photos like these at our class last week. Aren't they cool!!!! The first one is the cars headlights on a bridge and the other 2 are simply using a sparkler. :> Effective hey.!

Last night I attended class 1 of a 4 week photography held by Adrian of Aspect Images. www.aspectimages.com.au. The idea is to learn how to use my Digital SLR in Manual Mode."Scary"!! We learnt about ISO and shutter speed. Still all gobbly gook to me but am working it out. I had a play with my camera today.
This was the end result after a few shoddy pics. All I did was adjust the ISO and shutter speeds. There is no flash used.

With this pic, I tried to focus on the cup and blur (slightly) everything else.

Our cyclone damage is apparently getting fixed this Friday. It will be nice to get the tarp off the roof and the star pickets out of the back yard.
