She takes pictures, too. Lots and lots of pictures. Of lots and lots of things. I love that. And even more, I love - and truly appreciate - the photography tips she posts. It's been several eternities since I had any formal photography classes, and even then, it was certainly not pertinent for a digital SLR camera. Things certainly have changed since I bought my very first Canon back in 1980. (Yes, 1980... I really AM that old.) Digital is much different from film shooting.
I was a hold out traditionalist until about a year ago. I stuck with my good ol' film. I stood firm that there was more art to shooting with film, because I had to consider composition, lighting, shadows, etc. I didn't "photoshop" MY pictures to perfection.... I set up my shots to perfection.
Yeah, well... then I realized that I could still set up a great shot that wouldn't need to be adjusted later. And I could know INSTANTLY if it was really good. So... I caved. Almost the moment I closed on the sale of my house, I bought a new digital SLR Canon.
And it - and I think I - take some pretty decent pictures.
