A year of photography

Filed under: Uncategorized — Christy at 9:54 pm on Monday, February 26, 2007

I have a new interest - photography. I got a new camera, a Nikon D50 for my birthday in September. I have had a blast taking a lot of pictures, mainly of Katherine. Most of my pictures have been taken in automatic mode because I have not learned how to take good pictures with all of the manual settings. This year I would really like to learn to take better pictures.

I have become addicted to looking at photographers’ websites and blogs, expecially those who photograph children. I started listing links to some on this blog. I ran across a number of people who are participating in two different challenges. One is to take a photo a day. Some of the participants use the suggested challenges from the I Love Photography website. Another challenge is to take a photo a week using different themes.

Since it is February 26th and I am just now joining in the fun, I probably will not have my blog listed as a link on other participant blogs and I may just do as many of the challenges as possible. My goal is to better my photography skills this year and to learn to use the many functions on my camera.

So, I am going to do my best to start this project, get caught up and finish it!! There is now a link to my new photography blog in the “Our other websites” link. Check it out and leave comments.
