Yes, I know it's been 3 months since my last post here...I've been super busy and can hardly find the time to update this thing. I'm happy to announce that I finally took my first photography class this past Saturday. It was offered by Leisure Learning and I totally recommend it to anyone who thinks they're reading Japanese when people talk about aperture and depth of field. The teacher is Kathy Adams Clark and she was a wonderful teacher. I already have a couple more of classes in mind that I want to take. So...I was all excited Saturday and thought - I'm a pro now, I know how to make my way around the Manual Mode...yeah right! Today, me, Brad and Tooty set out to take some pictures. To my horror, my pictures SUCKED! I was so upset..I even went out and bought a tripod. Just a few minutes ago though, I noticed that I had my camera's white balance on Tungsten the entire time...I'm hoping that was why all my pictures were way overexposed....if not, I have a lot more learning to do. Well, I know I have a lot more learning, but you know what I mean. Anyway, I hope to stay active with this blog as I want to post my pictures as I progress with my photography. Hopefully as time passes all these settings will come a lot easier to me - and I can learn to be happy with my pictures.

HA! you hope to learn to be more happy with your pictures?? what will happen is you will become even more critical the more technical you become!!! i have almost become dissapointed with that because i throw out some unperfect shots of my kids that a few years ago would have been perfectly acceptable! i miss some of those pictures now! then it will even itself out! well, i am glad you are taking the class to really learn how to use your camera, good luck!

I have to agree w/Jennifer on that one - I am SO critical of the photos I take if they aren't exactly perfect. I haven't even tried Manual mode yet - it scares me :) Good luck - I can't wait to see how you progress and maybe you can teach me a thing or two along the way!
