A QUESTION

There are no rules for good photographs,
there are only good photographs. 

~Ansel Adams

 

Each year I have a goal to learn some-

thing new and this year it is to take

photos on manual, to actually know

what I am doing with a camera instead

of taking 100 pictures and hoping at

least one turns out like I want.

 

For my Christmas gift my children all

went in together and gave me a new

camera that has been on my wish list

for a while. I did a lot of research an

thought this would be a great starter

camera to get my feet wet and when

I upgrade the lens can come too. Until 

now most of my photos have been

taken with a Kodak 10x Zoom

camera always set to auto because

I have no idea what I am doing except

to point and shoot. Manual? No way!

 

Yesterday the copy of Understanding Exposure

that I ordered came in, although

I was disappointed to see the tripod I

also ordered just left Ohio. I am

taking the Squam Intuitive Lens

class that starts next week,

which should really increase my

limited knowledge, but until then

I wanted to ask you a question,

Do you have any photography

tips, something that you always look

for when you take a photo? Something

I should be doing, but didn't know it?

 

Just like knitting, drawing and baking

I want to learn this craft and

because I have learned so much from

you already I thought you might share

some tips.

Thank you so much in advance for

sharing.
