Where did this come from? Well last Saturday I took a class where I learned all about my camera. After this class I realized the only setting I thought I was using off auto was really a semi-automatic setting AND I didn't have a clue what I was doing with it anyway. Insert picture of someone rolling on the floor laughing at me and my silly naivete. I did that on Saturday at myself...so you can do it too...it's kind of funny.
Okay...enough laughing everyone. I get it!
In all seriousness, I am inspired and motivated to take my photos to another level. I do not aspire to be a professional photographer. I am simply excited to take beautiful photos of my family and friends and our memories.
This class could not have been more fun b/c this lady joined me!
She's actually how I found out about it...and I also have a new blog to follow. Check out one of Fresh Art's latest posts on what we did that day! Yep...a few photos down..that's me in the background! Too cool!
We had an amazing day learning lots and lots (did I mention lots?) about our cameras.
Some takes-aways for me from the day:
Practice practice practice.
Go buy a prime lense...I'll post a photo of the difference between the two when I get mine purchased.
Use your camera everyday...so practice practice practice!
Do NOT from this day forward, put your camera on auto again!
Work on the technical stuff...ISO, apeture, shutter speed, light metering...then worry about the composition (what the shot looks like) later.
and most importantly...practice practice practice!
Here's some shots of my photos. A link to Steff's blog with her latest practice shots...AND a few of my practice shots at home that night! I think my photo of Deci is the best shot I got at home!
