It’s a Nikon D3000. There are tons of better cameras out there, but this was my first foray into DSLR world and the end to my life as a point&shoot girl. As you guys have seen I’ve been taking pictures left and right and they haven’t all been the best. I was extremely grateful when I discovered photo editing sites/software that wasn’t Adobe Photoshop (too complicated for my life…I’m a working mother who is trying to build a second business I don’t have time for Adobe) because I could correct some of the mistakes that I made while using the Auto and Manual settings (also trying to figure out when or when not to use flash). Plus I’m taking pictures of the desserts I make so that they can be added to my website, I want good pictures without having to pay a food stylist for them (I’m a small business after all).
I have often felt like I never really had enough time to post because I always inevitably had to do picture editing and then blogging became SOOOO much more than typing my thoughts and sharing projects with everyone. I wanted to be able to take pictures that I could use with minimal to no editing that were fabulous enough to hold you guys interested (and maybe be impressed :)). I also wanted to be able to use the A and S settings that I saw on my camera but didn’t know what they really stood for. I began scouring the internet for information and blogs that would give me some photography tips. I found some good information out there and also talked with other people I know that are into photography. My family vacation was fast approaching, so what better time to try out all of the new techniques I’ve leaned?
Some of my pictures came out not so good…
and then some turned out pretty good…
