This class presented itself as a great opportunity to learn the art of photography and how to use all the buttons on my recently purchased birthday gift to myself; a new bridge camera, the Panasonic FZ200, and my brother's older Canon DSLR. I have not really used these camera's to their full potential, but I am confident I will be taking even more photos once I have learned the basics of digital photography. I have never used Photoshop either, but hope to master it's numerous features, and use this class as a foundation for lifelong picture taking!
