When it comes to photography all the advice, lessons, and brainstorming can not replace getting your kit and taking some pictures, of anything. Practice is the key to improvement. I definitely don’t post all my practice shots because most of them are absolutely terrible. One song from my childhood always plays in my head as I go. It’s from Swan Princess which I loved as a child.
Anyway, today I spent hours writing down session ideas and working on new tricks for shooting RAW, when my mom told me that some old family friends were coming by. It’s always nice to catch up and see what everyone is doing. I literally grew up with this family and it’s so strange but exciting to see them grow up.
Next came Chelsea and Ms. Leslie. Ten days of not seeing them is way too much and we got some serious talking done and I got to catch up on my making-fun-of-Chelsea’s-accent that I had been missing in Texas.
They brought over my Christmas present tonight, a new camera strap 🙂 I needed one of these badly and this one was personalized in my favorite color lime green so I was about excited as I can get.
When all our friends left and the excitement died down I got to my practicing. Nothing special mostly just playing with apertures.
I wrapped some these. Definitely not my #1 talent. |
