I will admit I was kind of hesitant to join along today because:
1. I'm a complete novice when it comes to photography. I have very few fundamentals and am sure I break more rules than I follow.
2. For as little as I know about photography, I know even less about editing. I haven't ventured into the world of Lightroom or Photoshop, yet.
3. I'm easily intimidated and totally hard on myself.
However, I really DO want to learn and I'm not going to be able to do that until I put myself out there and start observing and being observed. One of the first things I noticed when I was looking for a photo to convert to b&w was that a lot of the pictures I've taken in the past are filled with background junk. This one wasn't.
I took this picture of Lindy on May 31, 2009 before church as I caught her twirling in the front yard. I am sure we were late and it was a complete run back in the house and get the camera moment, so I was glad to catch anything decent. It was just with my little Canon POS (circa 2005) and I cleaned it up in Picasa. I was psyched to see the catch light in her eyes, although, I'm not sure you can tell with the size that'll show up on blogger (note to self--figure out how to post bigger-sized pix).
Happy Wednesday!!!
