First Post of 2009

It's the first post of the New Year. I wanted to wait until I purchased a new camera before posting so I could show off the amazing photos that I created. Since then I am still trying to figure out how to work the darn thing. Dials, menus and many, many different settings. My first pictures turned out so so except for a picture of a plant that I took. It was great because I apparently used the Live View (LCD screen) correctly something I was using for all the pictures that I took. The next day I did manage to use the preset settings for snow but I did use the Live View again so I lost some of the controls, functions that would have come in handy. The pictures did turn out better than the previous day and my family pictures were not too shabby. Soon I will be talented enough to take some snaps at the hockey game. This means I have to read up on all the tips and tricks and read the manual on how to do this. I must prepare, I can not go home with just mediocre photos. This is my first goal, next will be family portraits and then landscapes. Soon award winning pictures and my annoying familiar pictures of clouds, sunsets and closeups of rocks, leaves and flowers. Slideshow time, everyone gather around the computer to see my newest pictures. Wait ... come back ... you have to see this cute picture of the dog ... don't go!
