Momma D's Blog: Picture Perfect

I love to take pictures. However, just because I love to take them doesn't mean I am any good at it. In fact, I'm not very good at all.

I attended a Landscape Photography workshop a couple of weeks ago at a preserve in the middle of our fair state. Four of us packed up our cameras and equipment, clothes and enough food to feed an army and off we went.

We stopped for lunch and shoes (duh) on the way and after a good night's sleep we arrived at our workshop location. I pretty much knew that I was in trouble immediately. I did okay with the basics of working the camera, but then they started talking about filters and my eyes crossed. I kind of panicked.

After a few hours in class we were all getting restless and they set us free. We were supposed to take pictures. So I did. Not very well, I'm afraid.

We were given a great location to shoot some sunset pictures and we all had a lot of fun running around in the cornfield trying to get some shots. My car was in most of them. I offered to move it several times. Honestly, I did . We had some laughs with the selfie stick and finally managed to get all of us in one shot. Sort of.

I am not sure that Landscape work is my forte. I'm not at all sure that photography is anywhere near my forte. I learned so much that I thought my head would explode. I had fun with my friends.

I have chosen the best ones to share. Enjoy.

I shot this one of Pluto before I left for the workshop. I was practicing with my tripod that I never use. I did learn that I like using a tripod and that I have a pretty crappy one and I need to get a better one.

This wasp was our friend for lunch. I didn't have much else to do, so I shot a bunch of him. I think I like the close up stuff better than the landscape stuff.
