Today in my New Media class we worked with dSLRs. I now know the locations of the menu button, the mysterious Q button and what the red dot means. (Actually there are a few, but one on the lense is for lining up the lense to better insert and eject said lense.)

This is my first foray into using Lightroom, or rather watching the lovely Alicia go through photographs and flagging ones we liked and then narrowing down from that to the perfect (near perfect, or “that’ll do”) photo of the day’s shoot. Pictured above is the one she took of me that she is submitting for today’s portrait assignment.

I liked this.
