Teaching Digital Photography

Last night I taught a class on digital photography at Skagit Valley College in Mt. Vernon. I had 7 students and I think I left them with an information overload! There is so much to learn in photography that I think I forget I've been learning it for 30 years. I've had a bit of time for all that data to sink in, and I'm the first to admit that some of it never did sink! It just sort of slipped away... I had a great time teaching and putting together material to illustrate the topic. These are some fun and crazy pictures I took to illustrate how shutter speed creatively affects photos. In these cases I was panning a moving subject (the truck), zooming while photographing (the leaves), and moving the camera on a stationary object (a grove of trees). If you want to have some fun, go out and try these shots! If you need advice on how to make them happen, send me an email: karen@karenmullen.com. I love teaching!
