Finding Patterns and a Giveaway!

The other day I dug out my copy of Learning To See Creatively by Bryan Peterson. This is where I need the most help. His books have little exercises in them to help you learn. I tried finding patterns in my house. It was NOT easy. Lots of stripes. Boring.

Ok I need practice. I need to learn to open up my creative eye.

For today’s giveaway I have a copy of Bryan Peterson’s other, more popular book, Understanding Exposure. It has everything you need to know about shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and more. It also has a lot of little exercises to practice what you learn.
