Since then, I have been doing even more research and reading up on how to use this thing! It's taking a little while to get the hang of what aperture and shutter speed mean and how they work together to take a great picture. It can be quite overwhelming and confusing at first.
Clearly I do not have the hang of it yet. ;) Haha!
Using my little baby as my model. She wasn't real crazy about the bright flash in her face.
But, she's so cute!
Yesterday I took another cutie out to model for me. I still have A LOT to learn, but I've had fun playing around with different settings and photoshop actions on these photos.
The End....
How fun! I can't wait to get a new camera someday. I've had my eye on that one!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos already girl! That niece of yours is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteYou are getting the hang of it! I am trying to learn too...it is soooo hard! It does not help that I get total ADD trying to read the manual. Ooopps.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures! I did a ton of searching also and ended up buying the same camera. I still have a lot of learning to do but I love my camera!
ReplyDeleteWe got a nikon and i love it too! E is so cute in her pics.. the last pic is really good! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Faith. The pics turned out great!!! I had a Nikon DSLR and I LOVED that thing. I can't wait to buy another one. It's so much fun learning about photography and experimenting with new lenses and software. I really like Lightroom. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my word... those pictures of E are just gorgeous!!!!!!! And what a litle model you have on your hands there! Perfect to keep taking more pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are wonderful!! You are rocking it already!! Did you use actions to edit them? Love them.
ReplyDeleteWe have that same camera...and a year later, I'm still trying to figure out how to use it - ha! Not sure what's in your area, but the shop where we bought our camera from offers FREE seminars on how to use it each saturday. Might be something to look into...
ReplyDeleteBut, judging by your pictures, it doesn't look like you need too much help - they look great (and of course your models are precious, too!)
Welcome to the Cannon club! I recently purchased the 50D and slowly figuring out how to use it.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures.
Faith, you are doing great with your photography!! Your niece is so precious and you got some great pix. I am having the same problems with aperture, etc. It's overwhelming but so necessary in order to have good pix. Keep sharing your your photos with us.
ReplyDeleteYeah for a new camera!
ReplyDeleteOhhh...I'm so jealous!! I want that camera. :) Beautiful pictures!! You are working it already. :) What actions are you using? They look awesome! I love the action on the vertical grouping of 3 - I will have to get It. :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first glanced at the title of this post I thought it said My New Hubby! I thought to myself "What in the world? She is lovin' that camera TOO much!!!" Haha!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great camera and you are already taking beautiful pictures with it.
I want that camera too, you lucky girl!!! You totally deserve it, I can't wait to see all your fun new pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI just got that same camera a week ago and I am having fun getting to know it, but there is a lot to learn. I have several books on order from Amazon on the camera, digital photography, and the photo program I use to edit. I love your pictures of the little girl, very nice job. Have fun getting to know your new camera, I can't wait to see what else you capture with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you got your new camera!! Love the ones you took of E! She is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove ya, girl!
I have that same camera and LOVE using it. Though I still mostly use it on auto cause I haven't learned all the different settings. Once you learn it all then maybe you can give me a few lessons!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome pictures, great effects. I love the B&W one.
OOH!!! E looks so gorgeous!!! No surprise...you are talented at photography, too! So many gifts in one person!!! :) We have that same camera and all I do is shoot on "auto". I think that will be my NY's resolution this year...to learn how to take some cool pics!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't is just soooo much fun!!!! You are going to be in photo heaven! Your pictures look gorgeous! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm itching for a new camera. Boy, that one sure looks great. I love that last photo you took of E.
ReplyDeleteWell, that sure is a cute little model you have there!! :) I really love taking pictures, too, and even took a class to learn how to use my big camera. It is so technical and there is so much to learn! Maybe one day I will get the hang of it all! haha Have fun with your new toy.
ReplyDeleteSo fun!!!!! And the photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Of course, you have an adorable subject, so how could they not be?? :)
ReplyDeleteI must say you are doing a great job picture taking. She is just so so cute:) Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteI have the same camera !! I love it, but agree with you there is tons to learn :) The model you used is stunning - great photographs !!!
