How I did it

Love Photography 
How I did it: The best way to improve my photography skills was / is to practice, practice, PRACTICE. I read a lot too, and it helps. But every time I want to try a new technique, I go on a photo shoot. I "play" with my camera all the time. Trying out new settings, seeing how things work or changing things slightly.

I am thinking about surprising him with little things the next couple of weeks.
I need ideas! ???
