(okay, so I got a Canon camera… I still like that song).
I am so very excited about the camera I got for my birthday. Only problem is that I’m still a little afraid of it, and that I need some lessons or a tutorial of some kind to help me to take some better pictures. I think it might also have to do with the lens? I only have the one lens, the one that came with it. It doesn’t allow me to zoom in very close to things.
OR, maybe I just suck at photography. But I’m sure enjoying the photo-taking!
Flickr is taking about a year and a half to upload any of my pictures, but here are a few that I’ve taken in the past couple of days.
These are great! Give yourself some credit silly! I look forward to seeing more.
Thay are good! I like the middle one – That lake one has a certain forlorn quality.
Keep takin’ pics!

Thanks – it’s the Atlantic ocean.
You so do NOT suck at photography. They’re great shots and you know I don’t say that lightly.
If you are wanting close up photos (like the flowers that I do) it’s helpful if you have an actual macro lens. It’s possible to do with the one you got with your camera and the macro setting but you get better quality with a lens made specifically for macro shot. Or a zoom lens with macro capabilities is always good too – kind of a 2-for-1 deal. I know it’s $$ but it’s worth it in the end.
