With different eyes

I haven't yet mentioned my photography course, have I? Well I have in the past, but only to say that I hadn't started it yet. And in fact I last posted on here the day before my course started. Well what a change. I don't think my pictures will ever be the same again. Thank the lord for that, I hear you mutter. It started slowly, gradually, without me even noticing it, but over the last couple of weeks it has become clear. My eyes see things differently. I have a long way to go, of course, and some things still baffle me and always will. I'll never be a great portrait photographer. But give me a little detailed something and a half-decent background and I can now do it justice...

I have learned all about shallow depth of field and manual focus...

So much more about composition has seeped into my bones...

And I love it, just love it.
