Mr. Incredible blessed me with my Nikon D60 a year ago. I call it my big girl camera and I am so thankful to have it! I think last year I took nearly 3,000 photos with it. I thought they were pretty good...until this class.
I've been leaving my camera set to auto or if I'm feeling really fancy....no flash! Yes, ma'am, fancy photography! I read my manual first but it sounded more like French than English so I just stuck to using my BFF (best friend forever) auto/ no flash...until 2 weeks ago.
I like Angie, but she is s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g me to do better. I have learned that my camera has an aperture setting~Aperture what? I can also set my own white balance and I'm learning how to carry around a little white card to test my white balance before I shoot photos.
My family now runs and hides whenever I get my camera out. Ha! No, not really, they are really patient with me as I practice, practice, practice.
Today is a gorgeous day in our corner of Texas. I hear that cold weather is on its way early next week so I grabbed my "big girl" camera and headed outside. My Bradford pear tree is bursting with glorious blooms. Wanna see:
We are suppose to be practicing Aperture settings and white balance settings. This is a very low aperture setting which gives good bokah in the background:
This is so much fun! We are on spring break next week so I'll be practicing some more. Ya'll have a blessed weekend!

These are beautiful!
Those are great photos! I don't quite have a big girl camera yet. I'm trying to master my current camera before I move on. Looks like you're getting the hang of it! Keep it up!
I'm dreaming of a big girl camera! :) So thankful you are enjoying yours.
Happy Easter! He is risen.
