31 days to a better photo...Day 2

Today I actually FOUND and opened the manual that came with my camera... I think I can count the number of times I have used this thing...
But today I...
...learned how to change my shutter speed.
read about what all the little icon ACTUALLY mean... not what I just think they ...mean... but I was right!!!
...learned which wheel controls the shutter speed and which wheel control aperture... Thre are actually 2 wheels...who woulda thunk!!
...I learned how to change the white balance on my camera... duh!
...and I also learned how to change the ISO...why I would want to at this point not a clue... it will be fun to see after 30 days how much of this stuff will make sense to me!!

and that completes day 2...

31 days to a better photo... Day 1

31 days to a better photo.... translation... 31 days to go from auto to manual shooting!!
YAY ME!! I found this blog on Pinterest... and I decided what the heck I might as well go for it!! What do I have to lose...? Day one is just making the commitment to DO IT!! I have been asked again to be second camera at a wedding... Maybe I will be able to use some of my new skills then... see you on Day 2
