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!
