Photography Assignments

I took a photography class recently and wanted to post some of the photos I took for the class. I learned a lot, but most of all I learned how much I have to learn....and how much time it takes. I am going to warn you upfront how HUGE this post is. It's just how it has to be. Feel free to skip this if you're not interested.
I'm just adding simple descriptions here. Sorry if they don't make sense. They do to me! Most everything is unedited after-the-fact, unless I say so, except for a couple of them. Clear as a bell, right?!

Side-light, working on focus


Working on trade-offs in low light

Same as above, only edited

Working on focusing, high shutter speed (1/320)


Depth of field (shallow-ish)


Larger depth of field (more in focus)

There's actually even more than this, but I'll stop there. :)
