That's a nice peaceful picture isn't it? It in no way represents my life right now. Why because it's that time again where I start to go a little crazy! Pattern deadlines are coming and I am sooo behind. On top of that I decided to take a little photog class to help me learn how to use my nice camera that I have had for over 2 years. You would think I would know how to work it by now, but no! I have just been shooting on auto all this time. Most of my pattern covers have turned out, but I don't want them to just be okay. I want them to blow you away with awesomeness!

So I signed up for Nicole's online Classes and I am loving it! She is a photography genius and the author of the blog A Little Sussy. I am learning some really cool stuff. Here are some pictures from my first week.

This picture above and this one are from a lesson on aperture:


This one is from a lesson on shutter speed:


Pretty cool!

If you want to polish your skills I highly recommend taking her class. It's very informative, easy to follow, and you get to do it on your time. I am loving it! If you end up signing up, tell her I sent you. Just for fun. Hopefully you will be able to see a difference in my new pattern covers. I should have some sneak peeks for you in the next couple of weeks.

On a side note, I'm feeling like I need to chill out a little so I'll be adding some SUPER mellow songs to my playlist in the near future (with no words) from all of my favorite chick flicks. Just to mix things up a bit.

Great pics. I need a few lessons too. Acquired a Nikon D80 recently and haven't begun to tap into it's potential. I'll have to look into the lessons.
Can't wait to see what you have brewing! Your patterns are my best sellers, in my limited experience of course. ;)

I found you through Blue Cricket's blog, and I love your patterns. I too have a nice camera-I just went professional with my photography a few months ago-and shot on auto for a LONG time before I ventured into learning what all those optinos were all about :-). Good for you for taking a class and learning more.
