New Year, New Hobby

I got a new camera for Christmas from my sister, Linda.  I went to a photography class yesterday in Indianapolis to learn the basics of operating all the buttons.  While I was up there I rented a new studio ..

Not really....just took a picture of our classroom.










Our class walked out in the hallway and took some pictures with different setting (white balance).

I captured some pics of Mom, but the room was a little dark and I didn't have my instructor there to show me what to do ....and my notes were in the car! Mom was a great model.

Here is a look at the first freeze of Tipton Lake.  Stay tuned for a photo essay of Jim's engineering fete to keep the boat house water unfrozen.

Linda, thanks again for the camera.  If you'd like to be 'shot' in green, yellow, or white light...I'm on it!!
