We are both learning how to use our DSLR's so it was nice. She is a Nikon girl and I have a Canon...but basic principles are still the same. Its very nice to share the learning curve with someone. I feel like with all the very young fabulous photographers online that I am behind the curve but spending time with a few of my friends is really helping me learn what the strange little buttons do and be a little less scared to try some things. I am hoping that by this winter I wont be such a camera idiot-face and be able to capture some real good shots. Feel free to comment on my flickr or here if you have any suggestions. I promise I wont take them personally and I really, really want to learn what I am doing.
Here is one that I used Picnik to edit. I am working on a painting of birch tree trunks so I wanted to really bring out the contrast of the black and white to inspire my last few touches (a photo will be posted when thats done)
Alright, thats all fine and dandy but not very exciting...I tried really hard to send the cranes or the geese a message so that they would get into a fight and I could get some sweet NatGeo shot...however, they were just standing there, eating or staring at eachother. Not exactly my G.I. Geese experience that I wanted.
