Okay, I feel badly about not posting any pics after today's sessions, so I'll post one that is cool, despite the fact that I completely blew the shot.
Let me set up this shot and why it stinks. Nobody but my father-in-law will care, so everyone else can stop reading. No offense taken. One of the big rules here is that you don't use presets. No dialing to landscape mode, macro mode, etc. At a minimum, you set the aperture and meter the shot. Here, I was shooting on a very windy ledge, and I was concerned about keeping the camera stable. As a result, I wanted a short exposure, but that means that I shot with a wide aperture, which means that my depth of field stinks. I should've changed my ISO setting so that I could get a quick shot without compromising depth of field.

Another rule saying that I should not use the "AD" (Auto Depth of Field) setting? I look forward to seeing your pictures when you get back. For now, focus on the class, not posting pictures.
columbia river "gorgious" shot?
My understanding is that this location is commonly used in car commercials. Apparently, a new BMW commercial was shot here just last month.
It looks like a scene from the movie "Cars".
