Diary entry

Over the past few weeks I have been working through my Olympus E500 manual, learning how to navigate my way through the technical applications. I now know how to access a variety of information for each photo including the format it is stored in, the histogram details, the ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed information. I have also found that instead of the LCD screen displaying the last single image it is also possible to see multiple images on the one screen.

I have also been reading through two photography books "Get the most from your digital camera" Simon Joinson and "John Hedgecoe's complete guide to digital photography". The information along with the class work is giving me a more thorough understanding of the digital world of photography.

I have also pulled out my Minolta X-300 mechanical camera with it's telephoto and macro lenses. I found some film and now I search for a film scanner to see the results of the photos I have taken.

I still haven't decided on my still life subject, but am searching and experimenting. I will know it when I find it!
