At the Park..

One of my goals (which has been a goal for a long time now) is to learn how to use my camera better and to take better pictures. I am trying to shoot in Manual mode as much as possible and with natural light, but sometimes my pictures just look plain 'crappy' and are really fuzzy! Erghh--frustrating.

We went to the park a few weeks ago and I decided that I was going to take my camera and try and take a whole bunch of pictures and shoot in Manual mode and just plain experiment, have fun and try out different settings, etc. You know, no pressure, no one looking if I am taking pictures in weird angles, just moi and the kids.

I like the way they turned out---and I also like this new action that I downloaded (I can't remember for where now) to help me edit the photos!

Here's a few favourites:
He hurt his nose going down the slide. I thought I could get a nice picture of the two of them on the bench, but he wouldn't stop crying and then she had to start because he was! They look alike when they cry! :o)

They are SO cute - and I love GG's outfit :) I need to leave more comments because I realise how nice they are on a blog for the blogger. Thanks for sharing your kiddos. We miss you and look forward to hopefully seeing you this summer.

What a fun collection of photos! You have done a great job! What fun to get your kids dolled up and them have them pose for you. As well as satisfying your creative urges you are preserving your family history. What opportunities digital photography provides!!
