Sunshine and Snapshots: Snapping Along

Well I don't know about you, but I am getting a little board posting all about the February Photo a Day challenge! lol. So I am still sharing photos on their Facebook page, but I am going to keep my thoughts going here! I have been reading and reading and reading! There are so many amazing things to learn about taking pictures and I am pretty excited about trying new things. However, there are a few things that I am really having a hard time with. One is that my camera is not a DSRL which limits my ability to do certain things. I will need to upgrade if I hope to really get some of those cool features. I am also in need of some serious help with post camera editing! I have a very old version of Photoshop that I was trying to use, but it is really hard. Not quite as easy I as I would like it to be. So there is another thing that I really need to research and figure out.
As for something that I can do, I can practice! I have been given chances to do a lot of nature photography in this cold deep winter. It is hard, but it has had me changing how I look at what is around me. It is hard to take pictures when there is little to see. It makes me think about what I am shooting, how I am shooting it, and what I want it to say. I have also been realizing that I don't like to photograph things as much as I like to photograph people. I also realize that I love the close up micro shots of both! I love to see peoples face and the details of an individual flower. This is interesting since it allows me to start to see my own style! Another thing I love to shoot, is kids in their home environments. I love to see what they are doing and grab pictures of the things that mean the world to them! Well, enough talking.....here are some pictures from the last few days!
