Love of Photography

Or should I say Love of Taking Pictures, since I really don't know much about photography. I do love to take pictures, a lot of them. I can really appreciate some quality photographs. Photography is one thing that I really want to learn more about...take some classes, want to read books about, etc. I just never seem to find the time. When I pull out the camera to try new stuff at home, the kids get all excited because they want to play with the buttons and lenses instead of sit cute and smile. :) Well, I LOVE my new camera, so I really am going to try to get the most out of it. Today I played around with some different buttons, having no clue what I was doing, but I could definitely see the effects in the different pictures I took. It got me excited so I'm really going to try to learn how to utilize some of the advanced options on my camera. Here are 2 pics that I took, and hopefully there will be more to come as a result of me using some settings rather than Auto.

My sweet boy Collin. I love this picture.

This picture is junk, but it got me excited about some cool things I could do with my camera. If you look closely, there is a shadow of Mackenzie in front of the dresser. She moved so quickly, otherwise it would have been more prominent.

Cooool, what kind of camera did you get. I found the best thing to do is read the manual. I am addicted to photography, and the more I learn the
More I realize how little I know- Heidi

Maybe it's a dentist wife thing because I want to get into photography really bad too. I love being about to do cool things with the camera and take nice pictures. Not that I have a nice camera or anything. I've been telling Lance that I want a really nice camera for about the last year or so. Hopefully he gets the hint sometime soon :) You'll have to let me know what kind of camera you have and what to get/look for because I really have no idea.
