Photography Class

Well, I'm not sure if I have learnt a great deal in my photography class, but I think a little bit has "seeped" through.  Our last class is tomorrow night, and for our homework we were told to photograph some of our  favourite items/people/places and have enlargements made.  Of course I chose beads - actually I chose a couple of pendants that I had in stock.  Below are two of the many pictures I took - and yes, I had to adjust/brighten the colour - that is the one thing I just can't seem to get right - they always turn out too dark.  The one thing I have learnt is the importance of using a tripod - wow that sure makes a difference.

Thanks for looking!
