Takin' Pictures

Taking pictures and life have always gone hand in hand for me. Since I was the littlest girl, I've had a camera pointed at me. My mom always had her camera with her. And when I got my first job, she took me to a camera shop and helped me select my first real camera. She taught me the basics of manual exposures and how to acheive certain depths of field. I certainly wasn't great at it, but I learned to take my camera with me nearly everywhere I went, which is half the battle sometimes.

Since then I've gone digital, started getting lazy and used automatic settings, and finally owned up to return to manual settings. I don't always have the time to put the effort I would like into each photo I take, but I know there's more than just having an eye for composition. And I want to keep seeing what I might otherwise ignore.

I know a place where I can learn more.

Clickin Moms is an online photography forum where we can all go to learn more about our picture taking obsession. And today I'm writing for a chance to win a free life time membership to this coveted place.
