I plan on owning a Canon Rebel in my very near future (my anniversary is at the end of the month!!) I will put my tips to work and report on how its going! Hopefully the proof is in the pudding and you'll see it in my photos!
Oh & one more cool thing about the event- I won something!!! I never win anything! And its something awesome for when I do get my camera. A Joby gorillapod focus & ballhead which is a flexible tripod that you can hook up to just about anything to take pictures! Yayyyy me!!!
I really need a better camera. My pictures suck!

DeleteOH I hope to get a Canon Rebel someday too! Thanks for sharing your Event! Congrats on winning something too - that's awesome. Stopping in from SITS.
ReplyDeleteI know- I can't wait to get mine...especially to try out my new gorilla pod! Your very welcome for the share!
Deletei keep my camera on automatic all the time! I suck!!
ReplyDeleteDon't!!
DeleteI'll post more tips from that day!
I desperately need a better camera!
ReplyDeleteI have an expensive camera and leave it on automatic :-( Thanks for the tips! Visiting from SITS.
ReplyDeleteYour very welcome! Don't leave it on auto- try some of the tips!!! Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
DeleteFantastic tips! Thank you so much for sharing. 'Shoot with skill and edit for impact' - I love that one. Gorillapod is awesome, isn't it!? Enjoy it and your new camera when you get it!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used it just yet but am very excited to try it! I'm attempting to do some video blogging and am going to use it when noone is around to record me!
DeleteI am totally guilty of leaving out nice fancy DSLR on automatic. Learning more about photography is something that I've always wanted to do but just never had time to focus on it. And that's so awesome that you won a Gorillapod!!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I never win anything! I was shocked when I heard my number called!!!
DeleteI think if I didn't attend this event I would be leaving my camera (when I get it) on auto. Now, I refuse to. I'm diving in head first!
I'm also going to start doing some video blogging- scary, exciting...hopefully fun!
Thanks for sharing what you learned! I really want to take better pictures - and I think the first step for me would also be a better camera :)

A better camera really is key. I started my blog November of last year so I'm happy to be getting one as my 1st anniversary approaches. I hope to better my blog with the story great pictures help create!
DeleteThank you for stopping by & commenting!
Hi, stopping by from SITS. These are good tips. I have a not-so-expensive camera that I just leave on automatic. I bet even my little ol' camera could do some fancy stuff if I only figured out how!!
ReplyDeleteI use my IPad to take pictures! Everyone laughs at me when I whip it out of my bag! I have it with me all the time.
DeleteThanks for stopping by & commenting!
Great comment about not buying an expensive camera and leaving it on automatic. I'm not a photographer but when I started my blog, my photographer daughter lived here and took pictures for me. But then she got married and moved out and I was on my own. My husband got me a nice point and shoot so I've been learning to use it. It's harder than you might think! But my camera does have some nice features but I leave it on automatic. Your post motivated me to do some learning. My daughter comes over every Thursday - I think we're going to schedule some photography lessons for Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThat would be fantastic! I'm sure she would love to teach you a thing or two! Every Thursday for 30-60 min & you will step your blog up to a whole new level! I'm going to check in on you!!
DeleteThe camera I'm getting records as well- I plan on doing some video blogging (scary- but exciting!) so look out for my updates as well!!
Thank you for stopping over & leaving a comment!
Lots of luck in your learning!
What a sweet thing to share what you learned. And congratulations on winning!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS. Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
Why thank you Miss Robin! Winning is awesome!!! LOL
DeleteI'm also a photo enthusiast and wish I have a better camera so that I can take better pictures to post on my blog. Thanks for sharing the tips you've learned!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SITS. Happy Sharefest and have a great weekend, too! :)
Hi Trish! I'm so excited to get mine! The one I'm getting can also record video so I'm going to do some video blogging with it!!
DeleteGreat tips there, thank you for sharing! I'm constantly looking to improve my photography and I find that one way to do that (aside from your tips above) is to take pictures all. the. time. Practice makes perfect!
ReplyDeleteI agree Alison!
DeleteBy the way- love your revamp! The name change & all...looks great!
I have a Nikkon D60. I like it but I have no clue how to use it properly. These are some great tips and I need to remember to not leave my camera on automatic. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these tips! I am always looking for ways to make my photos better!
ReplyDeleteOh now you've inspired me to learn how to use my fancy camera that I leave on automatic!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Day! Thanks for sharing these tips!
