I’ll tell you the truth- it’s a long time I wanted to buy a camera but every time I got afried that I’m didn’t really know how to used that. maybe I need ‘jump into the river’, try to learn and belive of the experience.

I totally understand! It’s hard to take time out to take a class. If you want some great online classes that you can take at your own pace, I highly recommend Creative Live:

Hi Ruth! Thanks for the comment. I hope you’ve ben following along. I’ve been a bit slower getting everything out, but hopefully you’ll find some more tips as the series goes on! Good luck with your pictures. It’s such a fun art to try and master!

I finally saved up enough money to purchase myself a “good” camera September 5, 2014, a Nikon D3200 with an 18-55mm lens. I love taking pictures and the post photo process as well. I have a very run rush and hurry life and I’ve found that taking and tweaking pics is very relaxing for me. My own personal therapy I guess you could say. (my husband also bought me a 55-200mm lens for our anniversary)

Anyway, I bought my new camera September 5th and took it with me to a friends wedding September 6th for a test drive. I was able to take several beautiful pics at the church and later found out I was the only one who got a few special moments. (She did have a hired photographer and I was very careful to stay out of her way) These of course were all taken in auto mode because just like everyone else, I have no idea how to use the manual modes.

At the reception my husband was finally able to catch up with me and since he owns and knows how to use a “good” camera, he has a Minolta XG-1and he took photography in school, I figured he’d be able to help, nope!!! he showed me a few quick things and off he went shaking his head at me wondering why I just didn’t get it. My husband is one of those brainy people you’d like to choke the life out of since he picks what ever it is up, immediately knows how to use it or do it and then gets upset because you didn’t get it, uuggghhh!

So…….. with all that being said your series on “Photography for Beginners” sounds like just what I need and just at the right moment too. I’m actually going on vacation in a few weeks and of course plan on taking my camera with me to practice taking pictures in manual mode.

Do you have any other tips, books, etc. you’d suggest, as I’m sure you won’t be covering everything I’d like to absorb before our trip. Our trip is nothing fancy, just driving from PA to FL to visit the in-laws for a week long of no running, rushing, or hurrying…….. I can’t wait!! I’ll get to see my granddaughter too!!!!! Thus another reason to learn how to take better pics.

Thanks,
rjw

PS I love the pics I’ve gotten of her so far and can’t wait to take more.
