Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge - Lines

This week's Cee's Fun Foto Challenge is Lines.

I'm brand new to photography, having never used an SLR camera until about a week ago. I'm a bit nervous about sharing in a photo challenge, but I won't get better if I'm not willing to put myself out there and challenge myself, so here goes...

The first photo is from a rusted metal grate at an abandoned factory. As a former geometry teacher, I love the lines in this photo...

The second photo is a more traditional "lines" photo...

I know neither of these is groundbreaking, but like I tell my students... baby steps :)

An Introductory Post...

Welcome!

I am "Druin" and I'm excited about joining the wonderful world of photography. If you look at my other blogs, you'll find out that I'm a math teacher at a suburban high school. I've taught for 15 years and I love my job.

I've never done photography before and this past week was the first time I'd ever used an SLR camera. My hubby grew up around photography, as his dad is a professional photographer, and hubby has often dabbled in it as a hobby. Recently, he purchased a new DSLR and I made an offhand comment about wanting to try it someday. Little did I know that "someday" would be a few weeks later! We purchased a used DSLR for me and I'm hooked!

It's been a fascinating journey so far and I am happy to share my new hobby with you :)

Happy shooting!
