take more and better pictures

Received a Canon Digital Rebel SLR as a gift, but have never taken the time to learn to use it properly; so I have signed up for a photography class that start 09/07. Looking forward to capturing life through the lens.

Been doing better about this lately. I went to one of the old buildings in town that a guy was fixing up. He let me inside to snap some shots—120!

I’m going to start taking my slr about the streets of london and learn to take see things from different angles. I love taking photos though seems to be more about luck and timing rather than any real skill.

Am also joining the london camera club, let’s hope they can give me some discipline in learning some new techniques!

I did really well not leaving the house without my camera for a while. I need to get back into that habit. And then not be afraid to use it.

Ok, so I just spent some bucks and got a fairly nice Canon camera – not quite a DSLR, but close. Now I want to not be afraid to use it, and learn more about photography. I need to carry it with me, and just see what happens. I also bought a field guide to go with it. Maybe I should go make “read more” one of my 43 things.

Well, my current camera is kinda sucky, but it works well enough for what it is. I need to really go out and start taking more pictures, especially since I know a guy who has offered to display my pictures in his art gallery for free.

I just got an email from a camera repair site saying they’ve fixed my precious Canon SD450! Can’t wait to start camera-whoring-it-up again!!

Pictures are just too much fun, and it really helps you jog your memory after a night of heavy drinking :)

I need to buy a flickr pro account!
and a new camara, mine is rubbish u_u

i just used up 3 rolls of film taking pictures of pets, outside, and my boyfriend. i really tried to focus on aperture settings and the rule of thirds and all that, so i can’t wait to get them developed. if i can ever get to freakin walgreens.

and learning to take photos with it is going to be a challenge – just the first 10 or so shots seem to indicate that anything within 15 feet of me is unfocused. :(

I’ll go upload the two good shots to flickr now…
