I have always loved taking photos. When I was about 8 my Dad gave me my first camera for Christmas. From that time forward I became the family photographer. My dad was a single dad at the time raising myself and my brother so most of the photos from that time period are ones I took. I loved it though I never officially took a class or had training. I wish I had of taken time to learn more back then. Fast forward several years to digital photography. I took lots of photos and even began to scrapbook them and document. As I began to do more with documenting my photos I noticed the red eye in many of them. I wanted to do something to get rid of that. I was intimidated by big, fancy cameras though that had big lenses. I knew nothing about the auto settings. I thought you had to have experience to use those cameras. About four years ago I finally upgraded my camera to an SLR because I read that was the best way to get rid of the red eye. I am so glad I did!
Now, I am ready to take that next step of not using the auto setting. I took a photo class at our local university and began playing around with the aperture settings. It is quite obvious I am just starting my learning process with these photos, but for a beginner I thought they were decent.
Going to have to figure out what I did on this one. I think it is too soft.
Do you enjoy taking photos?
