You’ve developed tunnel vision after this long winter. Look up! There’s a whole new world to see. Look at the beautiful clouds. What do they remind you of? This is your time to capture those clouds and share them with other people. Write something about it and incorporate that with your imagery. When there’s no clouds, look up and see the tops of buildings and trees. In this digital photography course, you’ll experience the magic of your surroundings.
