Here is a shot that I took of one of the Tiger Lilies in our backyard. For this week's Photo Friday 'Orange' challenge
We had our first field trip today, starting off at the BCE place, and then heading over to Union Station and the CN Tower. We were focusing on a few things, including the "Rule of Thirds" and "Linear Perspective". We were also working on changing the settings away from the default light metering so that we could better capture the light, and not let the camera average out the light. Michael also make us try tilting the camera in different ways to get different views of the same thing.
Here are a few of my favorites.

My Travel Photography class had our second field trip. This time we went to Kensington Market. I wasn't feeling great and I really didn't like the location very much. Maybe I just don't find Toronto as interesting compared to the other places I have been. Also were not that many stores open or many people around.
We worked on different compositional techniques:
Selective focus 
Dominant foreground, contributing background 
Controlled depth of field 
Introducing disorder into order (green onions diff shape than all the rest) 
Texture

We had our last field trip for my George Brown "Travel Photography" class. This time we went to the Sunnyside pavilion near the lakeshore. (This is where we went to see fireworks a few days before our wedding and it took Chris 3 hours to drive home afterwards!)
For our field it, it was a very cold Saturday morning, I was impressed that everyone in the class showed up. I had enough layers on to keep warm, but I was still happy to go home when we all agreed that we had done enough.
Our teacher is planning on starting a photo club for everyone who has taken this class. I think it would be great, especially if we can keep doing field trips and if we can see everyone's travel photos when they get back from a trip. We had an amazing guest photographer come to our last class. She brought her photo albums from India and the shots were so powerful and colourful and wonderful moments. She has recently switched careers from running her own dancing school. What a big move, but she definitely has the skill to do it. I really enjoyed hearing about her trip. I will have to decide if my next trip is going to be: a vacation, or travelling or photo travelling. To get the really good pictures I think you really need to have photography as the primary reason for your trip. Especially when I looked back on the dismal snapshots that I took in Europe back in 1991. Yeah, it is always possible to get a few good shots because of the environment, but to get a good collection you would need to work at it.
