Photography
I have started a new course in photography. Although it is more basic than my previous course, I feel happier as I feel that I am getting a better in depth knowledge. The lecturer is really good. At least so far! It is a course in creative photography and it will cover basic photographic principles, developing and digital manipulation. It is the digital manipulation that I am most interested in, as I have already covered history of photography, principles in photography and development.
I have to say that I like printing my own photographs. I also like developing my own photographs. Though the amazing bit is with digital manipulation you can do anything. Fix photographs, remove objects, turn a snap shot into an almost professional image and even correct colour balance. So I spent a couple of hundred buying a printer. The only thing it does not do is print on A3 which would be nice. The other thing is paper can be expensive too. You can buy A3 photographic paper from places like PhotoPaperDirect.com, which is never easy to find. Sadly I will just have to stick to A4 print outs unless I get them printed professionally. Ah well!
