Joy of Love: Day Two




Today's prompt was: how they look.
Today's camera tip: position.

I feel like I am always pretty aware of my position when I take a photo....unless it comes to lighting. Since I struggled with that, I put our TV on (which is directly adjacent to a big window) to distract Collin while I tried different positions & experimented. Once again, I am my worst critic & I'm not happy with my results, but I am getting the hang of the lighting situation....on auto. Gah!!!!!! I am focusing manually, but I cannot get a good picture in my house without it being dark & grainy. I've tried everything! This class is forcing me to try & try again, though...which is a good thing.




















Sorry about the Collin overload...but this is my blog & IDOWHATIWANT!

  5. I think you did great! But get off auto! lol. I so wish we lived closer! I know how to adjust the camera and would LOVE to help you out.

    My problem is lighting too.

    I struggled on manuel (camera, not lens) too, but it's so worth the struggle! I found out I was forgetting to adjust ISO, after that I took better photos. Sooo much to remember! gah!

    TV works. Snacks too. ;) I've been known to dump Connor in the grass with a mini box of rasins. lol.

    @Debbie - Thanks! I KNOW!!! I need to get off of it! I can never get my ISO or white balance right! Ugh!! Lighting is my arch nemisis.
