I mentioned a while back myinterest in photography. I wanted toshare a few things I have done recently and get your honest feedback! I’m still learning, so I am definitely openfor constructive criticism from anyone!
A little background….
I have always been obsessed withtaking pictures. I was always the girlwho brought the camera along and took ten thousand pictures of everything andeverybody. Then when my son was born, myinterest was magnified and I wanted to be able to take BEAUTIFUL pictures ofhim. I wanted crisp, clear, memoryinducing pictures of him. So I spent alittle money and got a DSLR, because the pocket point and shoot cameras arecrap. Since learning to shoot with aDSLR I find it physically impossible to shoot with a point and shoot…literally. They are soooo slow and half the time comeout blurry….so no thanks to that.
After getting my DSLR, I wasstill shooting in auto because I had no idea how to use the dang thing. I eventually taught myself SOMEWHAT how toshoot half manual, half auto by taking the picture once with auto and once withmanual. Then I decided that I needed totake it a step further and actually learn what all the camera lingo meant andhow to make my camera work for me. So I signedup to take an online class with the wonderful Tracy Lynn Deis at TLD Photography. She taught me all about shutter speed,aperture, ISO and my FAVORITE thing – BOKEH! I loveeee some beautiful bokeh in my pictures!
So now, here I am. Trying to apply all the things I have learnedfrom her and am still learning (I have two more classes with her). So in the course of my evolving photographypassion, I wanted to share some of my recent pictures with you all! I’m sure there will be PLENTY more to come :)
Let me know what you think!
Sweet shots! I definitely need to take a photography class. My husband takes better photos than me and understands the lingo a little better. I have the settings I like on the "P" option on our Canon and just shoot away. Haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've really enjoyed my photography class and would like to take some locally as well where I can actually get some class time in. Online is limited as to what we can do, but I have to say that she has been a GREAT teacher and I have learned a lot while working with her. And it's one on one, which is awesome. I can definitely tell a difference between what I was shooting when I started versus now. I never use any setting except Manual now. My next venture is learning flash photography with my external flash because I hate the on camera flash. It's way to harsh most of the time because it shines directly at the subject. I prefer bouncing it from the ceiling :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE! You are talented! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alyssa! I hope to continue learning and getting better and better!
