I love taking photos. I do decently, considering my hands shake - a lot - and I just can't seem to learn my camera and get it to see what I want it to see.
That's my biggest issue there: getting the camera to see what I see. I still feel like I'm just taking snapshots. I look at the photos that my friends take (unedited, SOOC shots, groups of them not just the "chosen few"). I can't get my camera to do that. It's a user issue, not a camera issue, for the most part. I would like to get another lens or two that go outside of the kit lens that came with my camera. But really, the biggest issue is me.
I keep scoffing at taking a photography class, but I think I'm going to have to. I just can't wrap my head around certain things about SLR photography.
So this isn't a totally pointless post, here are some edited photos I took over our Spring vacation. I had to do the photos of the kids before my parents shot me, but I did get some shots in New Orleans that I'm itching to get to working on.
These are all great shots...
ReplyDeleteBut that last one... there's so much personality caught in that shot. His pose, with the food in hand, the porch backdrop, even the angle of the shot. Just nails it.
Yeah, I really like that one. That's my Daddy. And it's very much him. Every once in a while I take one and I'm like, THAT is IT!!! I have one of my grandma that I feel the same way about. I'll probably post it on the next round if I can get some of my New Orleans photos edited.
