Keen enthusiast or amateur photographer?

Hello blog watchers, welcome back. Get ready for the next instalment of my photography learning. After completing the Beginner's course, I was keen for more, so after a week's break signed up for the Intermediate course. This was less focused on how to use the camera but on how to generate ideas for projects and think what direction we wanted our work to go in. Well, my dream is to be a wedding photographer so I know that I am interested in people and life. I love capturing the moment and feeling the emotion evident in an image. This course was great for stretching my creativity and pushing me out of my comfort zone. But alas, the course is over and I am on my own. I need to hunt out another avenue of learning but until then, see what you think of my latest homework efforts;

I was also lucky enough to have a friend's wedding towards the end of the second course so I was able to take in my prints and get some feedback from the group and Natasha. I was thrilled to be able to put to use some the techniques I had learnt and feel more confident about taking photographs. Unfortunately, I was so busy with my Bestlady duties that the camera did not get much of a look in and I realised I had the wrong lens on my camera for weddings, as confirmed by the official wedding photoographer who came over to chat to me about my camera!

Still, not bad for my first wedding with my "proper" camera. See what you think, here are some of my favourites;
