Cool pic, but where's the trout? That's what I really expected to see. Awful pretty spot though.

Mike, I didn't actually get any pics of the trout, but I got a few of the rings they left on the surface of the water. We did see some nice ones though! Makes me want to learn how to fly fish.
Loupey, if you bring your fly rods, you better bring your checkbook to pay the fine, because the season is closed here.
This was shot while waiting for the class instructor and another student to show up. I posted a couple more pics from this outing as well. One in the projects forum, and one in the Naturally Abstract thread.

PAul, this was for a class called "Outdoor Photography". It was offered through the continuing education department at the local university. It was a small class, only 4 of us counting the instructor. It was nice to go out shooting with others who are into photographers.

Nice job Mike, just got to love these Autumn colors. I use to do photo weekend every year on the second weekend in October at a different Kentucky state park. It was sponsored by one of the major news papers in the state and they would have a couple of there photographers there and sponsor a photo contest from pictures from the year before. Always lots of great fall colors and a good time.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Good question Loupey. Yes and no. For the most part I really didn't learn anything that I didn't already know, but it was still a good refresher.
That's not to say that the class was a waste of my time. Far from it in fact. Yes the class was very basic, and I'm sure I could have taught it (the instructor even told me that), but I really did enjoy it. I met the instructor a year ago in another class that he taught and we have kept in touch ever since. We have planned on going out and shooting together, but it hasn't work out yet. This class was a way for me to get out shooting with him, and other like minded people.
The classes in general are pretty basic. There aren't any prerequisites, or skill levels to pass to get into the class so you have a wide range of participants. You could have people that show up with a P&S and don't know how to turn it on, to a pro with a bag full of gear. If you teach to the person with the P&S, the pro is loosing out, if you teach to the pro, the P&S people are going to be lost.
I also participated in a Rocky Mountain Weekend put on by the Rocky Mountain School of Photography this past spring. That was set up so you had 3 different classes to choose from each hour and a half or so. The classes ranged from getting to know your camera, to advanced zone system for color. That class format was much better as you could pick and choose where you wanted to go.
