Chimpsy Photo Fieldtrip

On Saturday a friend of mine and I took a class through Chimpsy Austin. The class was two hours, the first hour was a photography lesson and the second was a walking field trip around the East 6th street. During the class, the instructor taught us how to take our camera off automatic and begin using the ISO and F stop features.
This was really helpful to me because I haven't taken the time to learn to use my camera on a manual setting. I've stayed in auto mode every time I've taken pictures. Since I'm a visual learner, having someone show you and then practicing right away really helped me out.
The field trip portion was a lot of fun. There were many vibrant colors and interesting things to take pictures of. After the class, Chelsea and I walked around a little more and took some extra photos. Here are the ones that I liked!
