Field trip into Brighton & learning Photoshop

After learning a few things in the first workshop and practicing a bit with my camera, I got some much better shots after going into Brighton for our field trip. I also went on a little walk to Stanmer with some of my hall mates and brought my camera along and got some good shots as well. After learning about ISO, I knew when going on that cloudy, rainy day into town that my ISO needed to be turned up pretty high, usually around 800 or 1600. When I went into Stanmer, however, it was a really sunny afternoon, but we were walking through the woods at points, so I was occassionally switching from a range of 1600 to 400. We also learned how to use photoshop today, which I have been wanting to learn how to use for a while, so I'm quite happy about knowing how to fix lighting and tones and things now.

As far as my project goes, I know I want to center around a general theme of music, but I'm struggling with place. I had a good idea in my head, but I don't think it is enough in the direction of documentary-style. This is just me brainstorming, but maybe I can find a cool record store and focus that and the people there.
