First Photography Class

So today was my first ever photography class with an amazing professional photographer. Check out his blog that I follow. He has an amazing eye for photography and I am totally jelous. Thank you so much Zak for everything you have taught my mother and I this morning at the phoenix zoo. Above is a picture that i took shortly after he gave us instruction on how to use my camera manually instead of relying on the preset settings on the camera. I was nervous at first but really it was a great teacher and I am lucky to have found him.

For those who know me know that I would love to start my own photography business on the side and do it on my spare time, but I am extremly hesitant on starting this because I don't like to put my self out there for critizism. Taking photos has always been a hobby of mine. My dad always makes a comment when I have my camera in my hand and start taking photographs.
