I've got a few weeks of photography class under my belt, can you even tell? I've been taking all my pictures in manual mode for the past 2 weeks, which means I'm driving the unfortunate subjects of my photos especially crazy now. You just think it's bad when your nutty aunt goes to take your picture with a camera that's in video mode (or worse, isn't even turned on). But try having a rookie like me staring down the lens at you- making you reenact whatever it was you just did because I didn't have the right aperture or shutter speed set the first time. Oh, and can you be really still? Because I'm going to try that spot metering thing I learned last week, and I've got to aim right at the middle of your forehead like I'm a sniper and you're starring in Deliverance.
For those of you photo pros out there, I should have gone down one f/stop on that 2nd photo, right?

There is such an angelic look in his eyes on that first picture!!
Would I be that 'nutty aunt'? LOL
I don't know anything about photography but I do know that is a good picture you took of Owen! So good job!
I almost typed "great aunt" because I was worried you would think I meant you! You do too good a job of taking care of everyone around you... you can't afford to be nutty ;)
I knew that was a figure of speech, I was just teasing you! Thanks for the kind words but I am a bit nutty! LOL Love you bunches!
When you get more experienced, just start taking pictures and then look at them and print the ones you like the most. You will do an excellent job. Just think back and try to think of something you did not do well at in your life if you set your mind to it. There won't be many of them.
