As you can probably tell, I'm a work in progress. I don't know what there is about it, but I LOVE taking pictures. And I'm trying real hard to take the pictures from a variety of angles. Course, my kids are total fans..."Wait, Todd. I need you to turn your head a little. No, the other way. Can you move over just a bit, there's too much sun in the picture. Oh, crud. I cut off your ear. Let me take just one more. Geneva, I need you to move so I can get this picture. Just one more, Todd." And so it goes.
Course, there's always the distracting element. My big gift for Christmas was photoshop but I haven't really learned how to use it yet. My sister tried helping me, but as soon as I got home, I had either forgotten how to do everything or couldn't get it to work on my computer. I'm thinking a class is necessary. However, I still enjoy taking photos....flaws and all.
Since this blog is for getting to know who I am, I've decided to post of few of pics. Enjoy!
FYI...I've been taking my own Santa pictures for years now. No need to buy the poorly lighted ones they sale. They let you take your own...and even offer up suggestions. When you take your own, they can be a lot more candid and real (not the uncomfortable sitting on the scary, hairy guy's lap looks--well, maybe you'll still get those).
Fun photos! Who needs photos shop..... :D
ReplyDeleteBetween this post and the one Denae did recently I'm feeling inspired! Now to get the camera out and play with it!
ReplyDeleteFun Pictures. I love the last one with Chris and the kids:)
ReplyDeletetotally fun! there is just somethin' about the camera....
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish you weren't moving! I love to take pictures too and maybe we could've taken a class together. But what you're doing looks pretty good as it is. My favorites- your shadow & Chris and the kids.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys! I want to learn how to use my aperture and ISO. One day. There are so many cool things you can do. Chastina--I missed Denea's post on the pictures. I would love to see what she's done. I need to pick all you all's brains cause I know several of you take some amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy favs are the last two--the lights on the Christmas tree are beautiful! And the last one is amazing! I need to learn how to take pictures at least halfway decent. You're an inspiration! Thanks
