Dusting Off The Rebel...

Over the weekend I decided to get the Rebel out to see if it still worked. It does but I'm not so sure about me. I was shooting in AV mode and my picture were very dark. You would think that after taking a couple of online photography classes and partially reading some books that I could have figured out what was going on. At first, I did not so I switched over to manual and my pictures came out fine, back to AV, still dark. I then realized that I just needed to change the light meter. How did I not know this (or did I) and why were my pictures always light enough before, was it luck or did I just forget about this very important step. Anyway we ( the Rebel and I are working fine now) and I can't wait to take some photos now that I've remembered/figured this out.
I have a niece that has volunteered to let me take a few photos of her for practice. Katie, when are you available? I'm ready anytime.

Photo Friday...

I've dusted off the Rebel, added my 50mm lens that I've barely played with, turned the knob to "M" and taken some photos of my lovely little Grand-daughter. Today I'm sharing a favorite and calling it "Photo Friday". I've heard that its a good idea to use a watermark on special photos, so I've learned to do that in PSE as well. So much to learn, so little time. I've really enjoyed getting the Rebel out these last couple of weeks and am planning to use it more going forward.

                                          

 

 

I've got another busy weekend planned (if the rain holds off) and am also hoping to make it to a park to catch some of Autumn before it fades away. Enjoy yours!

CY365...

I'm new to photography, I've taken a couple of Katrina's online classes, a couple of Elisha Snow's classes at BPC, read a couple of photography books and I practice alot, I mean ALOT! So I am very excited to see my photo of Daisy and her babies on the CY365 blog today.  : ) 
A big Thank You to Kathleen for choosing my photo.
