Photography Workshop

Last weekend, I attended an all-day photography workshop and shooting safari. I learned how to take my camera from it's cool, easy, auto modes completely into Manual Mode, with stop in "P", "A", & "S" along the way. I am so happy that my camera is finally more than just an expensive, glorified point-and-shoot!

I have been doing photograhpy lessons over Skype with my little sister, who is super interested in learning photography, especially now that she has a nice DSLR as well! I have had a really good time teaching her all of the things that I have learned (not to mention it helps me practice and put into action the things I'm learning).

The following pictures are some of the pictures I took during my workshop. They are all Straight Out Of the Camera (SOOC) with no retouching, crops, or effects.

This cactus was the VERY FIRST picture I have ever taken completely in manual mode. That means I had complete control of every aspect of this picture. I am so happy that you are actually able to see it! Hooray!

Papa sent me this picture today, demonstrating how I showed and interest in photography at an early age. Note the tripod.

 On a sidenote: I'm fairly certain, based on the above picture of myself, that this child belongs to me. Wings and all.
