Photography

I've decided I really would like to learn more about my camera and taking great photographs so I'm on a pursuit to learn. I'm looking up great websites and I've bought some books. So I figure I'll post my pictures here and see what everyone has to say. I'm trying to shoot more where I control the settings of the camera instead of just putting it in automatic mode. We'll see how it goes.

This picture is a self-portrait! Ha! I wanted to see what the lens actually does when I shoot. Nothing amazing but I saw.

I took two of our nativity scene. I think they came out pretty neat. I had to convert them to jpeg to upload so it doesn't look quite as sharp as it does on the computer. Plus the angel is out of focus but I like it. I'm assuming I'll get better with time...let's hope. I'm going to try and take some good ones of Hutson this weekend.

Here are some I've taken recently (within the last month). First, is Hutson riding his new horse from Grandma and Daddy Jim (Callie's parents). He seems to really like it!

The next ones are some I took this weekend of Mike and Hutson. Notice how Hutson is really into reading the books with his daddy. I love the look on his face in these. He is learning to ignore me and the camera! Yay! Well, he might have been annoyed with the last picture.

Then I also took some posed ones in front of our Christmas tree. These were some of the better ones. Cute we thought.
