Learning Photography...

I love photography. I want to get good at it so I can take really good wall- worthy photos of my two precious boys. Besides, I don't want to rely on the standard boring Kmart/Picture People/mall photo studios to remember my kids by. Although these photos are cute - because kids are cute - the quality is still really lacking (for me anyway).

So, I've been reading up on digital photography, practicing some of the skills that The Pioneer Woman has on her site, and relying on Hot Daddy for technical help. However, I use Photoshop and he uses Paintshop. Total opposites. Go figure! Anyway...

So, here are a few photos that I'm really liking right now.





Now, I'm contemplating on whether or not I should spend upwards of $300 on some new lenses for my Nikon DSLR before we leave on our vacation in less than 2 weeks. I really want to take some great photos while we are there. I guess the lens can be my early birthday present. After all, I'll be 32 (on 10/19) so I need something to cheer me into old age. ;)

P.S. Happy Fall and don't forget to follow me on Twitter. There's much more going on over there - like hourly. ;)
