I received an early birthday present.....and I am scared to use it. I am not sure why...but I am. My husband asked me just the other day why I was still using my point and shoot....because I am scared...but today I went for it. These pics are right from the camera....
Kim, you got a digital SLR?! I'm excited for you! You have such an artistic eye and now you have another tool to use it with. :-) The pics look great--is this Ella? She is getting so big!
ReplyDeleteOkay, here's what you need to get over your fear. Find a beginning digital photography class. Camera shops usually offer them for reasonable prices. I just Googled digital photography classes in my area and found my instructor on craigslist. I took a four week class, two hours a week. I'm not a pro, but I'm not afraid of my camera anymore, and I'm not afraid to shoot everything in manual rather than automatic or presets.
Have fun with it!
P.S. Getting the white balance right can warm up your photos. It seems to make a big difference in mine, no matter the lighting.
ReplyDeleteWhile we were swimming in hawaii we saw a couple with a waterproof digital camera....I didn't think they made them.
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be a good invention, but someone else thought of it first.
Anyway, I want one so bad....
I am happy that you got your camera. I know that you have wanted one for a long time and the pictures look great!!
Cindy - I had a friend from Hawaii that had the waterproof digital camera....it works great in the pool, but don't take it to the ocean...hers stopped working after taking there. I think it was the sand and salt. Even though it is waterproof, it is not oceanproof :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Congrats on the new camera!
ReplyDeleteThere is always auto mode-go for it!!!
ReplyDeleteWahoo!!!!!! You got the camera you've always wanted... I'm so happy for you, dang good early bday present if you ask me. The pictures look great of course! Ella's little bathing suit is so cute..
ReplyDeleteWish you lived here so we could take some photography classes together : ( *sigh* a girl can dream right???
Cute picts sis. You have a natural eye. Love this Ella so much. Miss you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are using it!! You won't go back! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new camera! I got Candi's "old" one for Mother's Day and I'm scared of it too! I completely understand. I'm using it some in the auto mode, but thats it so far.
