Lillies
And theses are the lilies that we have on our patio. They have such great color and because it rained today the petals still have raindrops making it seem like dew in the morning.
Basketball Court Fun
Today I had fun with Josie Shelly JaiDe and Korvan. We went to the basketball court so i could practice taking pictures of people instead of just things in my house. It was lots of fun since i don't get to see JaiDe and Korvan very often. Here are the best shots of the day.

Starting out
I am new to all this blogging but after researching tips on beginning photography- I see a blog is a great way to start. I don't know why but I couldn't type on my mobile so I am going to continue now.
I started out by taking a 35mm into to photography course at my community college last year. While i loved doing it, I understand that there is no big future in 35mm anymore. I decided last month that i was going to try to pursue photography instead of English lit. I have fun doing it, I love looking at my photographs, and while i know that it will defiantly take some time to get into i dropped my lit classes and started looking for a digital camera. The day i dropped the lit classes i felt free. i spent about 6 hours researching how to be a photographer. I looked at cameras and kept looking. i knew i would find a good one if i waited at a good price. after looking for almost 2 weeks I finally got a digital camera last month so that I can start to go somewhere. I called friends to ask advice about which path i should follow and they were all supportive that i should do what i enjoy. I only know one person that is a photographer and i had text her and called her hoping that she would let me ask her some questions and maybe even apprentice with her. she never replied. i guess asking for help was out the question from her.
This is what i bought. Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.
I played with settings but didn't really have any subjects to shoot beside my dog and it's hard to get her to stay in one place while i change the settings and find which ones work well. I read some of the manual and learned new things, like i had to format the SD card to the camera. oops. Of course doing that erased all the pictures i had taken like the manual said it would but i didn't have anything special on there.
So this is my start. I would love feed back from people on how to get out there and any great tips they may have.
Thanks for reading
