My photo challenge

As some of you know I recently took a momtographie photography class taught by Beryl Young. She is a wonderful photography from VA, DC area. Beryl taught us mommies how to use that great fancy camera(DSLR) that most of us have and most of us don't know how to use except on the pre-programmed settings.  This class was FULL of information and so many details that my brain was on over load.
One of the things that Beryl was telling us was that she had some past students decide that they were going to do a 365 photo challenge. That's right folks one photo a day for 365 days. She said it was pretty amazing how these former students were making progress and when you look at Beryl's facebook page some of them have shared their pictures. You can see a difference in one woman's from photo from day 10 to that of day 165.
So I decided I am going to try a photo challenge. But with a twist. I am going to start out slow, baby steps if you may. Instead of a 365 challenge I am going for a 30 day challenge. And if I can tackle that successfully then I will continue on. 30 more days at a time. The best thing about this challenge is that I will be getting more shots of those 2 sweet girls of mine AND I will hopefully master this DSLR camera a bit better. I figure if I take it day by day, I just may be able to figure out the aperture and ISO and shutter speed settings. Not to mention play around with some editing, Beryl gave us a name of a great site she uses and likes - Picmonkey.com. You can do all sorts of editing! Something else to distract me in the evening after the girls go to bed.
Stay tuned, you never what photos may turn up!
