Although I messed up my course with Better Photo - I was determined to get into another class! I am determined this year to understand f-stop and shutter speed, camera lenses and so much more! I am determined to take better photos and finally be able to fully use this expensive camera my husband bought me :)
So - guess what! I am all registered for an upcoming class by Karen Russell! I could not be more excited! I am a big fan of her work - and I have heard so many amazing things from others that have had the privilege of taking her class! I was not able to get into the first class - as it filled in just 2 mins! But I am happy to say I am registered in her class starting at the end of June! If you are not familiar with her or her work - you will want to check it out (click here to do so)
This year I thought really long and hard about doing the 365 photography challenge - but
to be frank committing to something that big seemed pretty scary to me - silly I know - but still committing to take a photo everyday seemed like something that would be hard for me to keep up with - now of course a little over a month into it I wish I would of done it. YEP go ahead and roll your eyes will me - *giggle*.
So I have decided to try to take a new photo everyday for the rest of the year :) Heck - it's never too late to join in on some fun, right? Now I might blog about this from time to time - but I don't think I will blog every time I have a new photo to post - instead I am going to add a slide to the right side of my blog and add in my photos - I hope that you will enjoy viewing them and watching (hopefully) as my photography skills grow.
Now to get me started on my journey to better photos - I will leave you with a photo I took this afternoon of my sweet little girl. I took this photo (now keep in mind that I am new at this) in my AV mode the aperture is set at 5.6 and shutter speed at 1/200, ISO 200).
Have a super day everyone!
