Photography mysteries

I've enrolled in photography classes on Tuesday evenings to try to figure out how to use George's camera. It's lovely Canon EOS 20 which can do marvellous things - in the rights hands! I, however, know nothing about a camera that isnt an instant point and shoot affair. So now, after one class, I am totally mystified about ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Here are three sample that I am required to have for next week's class. This little statue was my most wiling subject for the week. At the beginning I could only get very blurry images but with perisitance, and poking around various websites, I made some basic discoveru=ies and managed to get some fairly decent pics of her as required in bright sunshine, in shade and in the dark - the most blurry one! I'm hopeful that my techniques will improve with experience!
