Catch up/Shooting 101

I am so behind on the blog, and it's so funny, because I am completely obsessed  in love with photography, and I feel I have so many pretty pictures to share. Maybe it's because I have so many, that I get overwhelmed. I will be doing some very condensed recaps of the last few months.

I know I shared a post once about clickinmoms.com earlier. I adore the website for teaching me so many new things about photography. I signed up for their 4 week course, called Shooting 101, which started at the end of May. It teaches you how to really use your camera, which I thought I knew, but I learned much more and it has helped me be so much more consistent with my exposure. These are a few of my favorite images from the class. I know much more about editing and how to make the images better, but I honestly don't have time to go back and fix these. They will be a great example of my progress as I go along, right?

An Obsession

I got my new camera in August, and I had been having fun with it, trying to figure everything out. I have been trying to use it in Manual mode since November, and I was gradually learning a little at a time. But ever since I was able to take the wedding photos for Jack and Zuly, I have been obsessed. I'm reading every bit of information I can find on it. I could read photography forums all day long if the kids would let me. If I'm not doing that, all I want to do is be out shooting something, trying new things that I have read about.

I am having such a blast, and really loving some of the pictures I have taken, that I'm sure I will just have random posts of pictures of my pretty babies. I am so excited to have found such a fun, interesting hobby. It's fun to be stretching and growing and learning again. I missed that, although I hadn't even realized until now.

I know the format of some of these is the same, but the layout was free and I don't want to spend the money yet on fancier ones right now. All I need now is to get Sienna to be willing to just go out and let me take a bunch of pictures of her too!
