A Little Photography Practice


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!
