Pretty Pictures

Having a baby has introduced me to importance of good photography.
Blogging has helped me realize that it is a talent I can learn (and that's handy considering how much good photography costs).

I want a dSLR but know that I can't necessarily commit to learning the art right now.  B comprimised and bought me a quality point and shoot (Fuji Finepix S3280).  We figure if I can learn photography with it, then we'll invest in a dSLR.

Fast forward a few weeks.....I have played around with the camera, but I am still shooting in manual.

I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive that isn't time consuming and/or expensive.

Well, today I stumbled upon 31 Days to a Better Photo by Life with my 3 Barbarians.  It seems feasible!

I'm going to attempt these lessons in hopes that I'll have some skills in time for Lauryn's 1st birthday party.

I'm going to stick with a professional for her birthday pictures. :-)
Wish me luck!
