Hubby and I decided that one of our last SPLURGES before the
arrival of E would be a big screen TV for him
and a DSLR for me.. (Needless to say
I may have splurged a few times since... definitely not as big as Hubby & his Harley Davidson motorcycle..
Don’t get me started….That’s another post for another time…)
For the past 2 yrs I’ve been capturing our every move, pretty
much daily on my Canon Rebel Xsi. Most of my pics up until the past
couple have months have been in Auto/TV/AV mode – but lately I’ve stepped out
of my comfort zone and into the M mode! SCaaaarRrryy!
I figured I couldn’t venture into M mode without a lil
instruction. (You know me – a lil Type A like that! LOL) So I took a beginner
course with a local photographer Kelly Gemmell. Her work is AMAZING! Her course went over the basics: ISO, aperture and exposure.
That course lit my photography fire even more, so for my
birthday I treated myself to another course – this time online. I found this
course via Layla’s site. If you haven’t heard of The Lettered Cottage (where have you been?) –
you must check her out!!! The courses are taught by her hubby Kevin and his
buddy Josh over at Shoot Fly Shoot. (I have taken course 101 so far.) They
are REAL dudes who keep the course low key and it’s taught in normal person
lingo (with small southern accents as a bonus!.) (PS I am not affiliated with them nor do I
receive any compensation – I just loved
the course) The course is ridiculously reasonably priced as well!!
Here are some recent M (mode) shots since absorbing some new
knowledge - whatcha think?
Do you have the photog. itch too? Where did you learn – where
has it taken you?
