I am NO professional photographer by any means, but I do own a nice camera and have for a year now. I am embarrassed to say that I really have no clue how to use it. It is a Nikon D40, and although you really just need to point and shoot and you get good pictures, I still have a fascination with wanting to learn more about how to use my camera. There are many
resources out there and some really cool looking
workshops and
books I have wanted to take and read but just have not. I recently found
Clickin' Moms and joined it so that I can read and teach myself some tricks.
My subjects seemed willing to participate today so that I could practice getting some good shots in and playing around with the camera. They are so wiggly that it was hard for me to make adjustments on the camera, but I had a great time getting them to laugh and look out the window at silly stuff!
Another cool resource that I have been using for editing purposes is
Picnik. I do not have any type of fancy photo correcting programs, but picnik is easy to use and inexpensive! You can do just about anything with your photos at Picnik!
MC and C are the cutest!! Great photos and I love the headboard.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures look great! i have had my camera for a few years now (i really want,need a new one) and still do not know how to use all the settings. i am the type that doesnt like to read instructions, i like someone to tell me how. i really need all the help i can get and hope that getting a new camera will do the trick. i too love picnik! i can even use it! ha! i love that one sweet girl has straight hair and the other sweet girl has curly! very cute!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures look great. You're subjects are so cute, I love that one has curly hair and one has straight.

These are really good - isn't it amazing what a good sunny window can do for pictures. I love it.
