I have been browsing around and reading. ...Hey Jen! I have been browsing around and reading. You know what I did over the weekend? I turned the heat off because it was so warm. Well - apprently - it got cold overnight and when we woke up it was ... ahem ...58 degrees in the house. OOPS! Ray was not too amused. The other thing I wanted to say was about the pictures. 1. You should use the eye piece to view the subject. You will be more steady using your chest as a prop for your arms. And you get that by looking through the eye hole. Most people want to look through the big screen and get blurry photos. Also.... if you are really struggling - move your settings to an "action" shot. The shutter moves faster and it will be more crisp.<br />Second. Here is a teeny tiny tip I use. I use picassa (free google download) to edit my photos. You can crop - but then you move into the exposure and you can lighten, darken, highlight and increase the shadows. You can do all things to get the picture to look different. I might try to snag one of yours to show you the difference. Love the photos.

I learned in my photography class that one of the quickest ways to improve your shots is to decrease your distance from your subjects while relying less on the zoom. <br /><br />See you are already way ahead of me :-)championm2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14867731446440889107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-56134686855580951342012-01-08T11:59:03.904-05:002012-01-08T11:59:03.904-05:00Peg,
