Today I made it out to Hecla Island, just north of where I live. I am attempting to get back into photography, but digital. I was never awesome with film, it's just all I had. Then I was too cheap to always get my film developed. I used my Mum's F1 and other camera where the name always escapes me. They need a good cleaning.... so they just sit in a bag in my house sadly enough.
I've been wanting a DSLR for roughly 10 years, but there was always something else on the menu or I'd run in fear because of the price, commitment and wasn't sure if digital was all 'that'. Well I was mightly jealous when my husband went out and purchased one after I was saying I wanted to try. I know I could use it whenever I wanted... but the fact that it wasn't MINE bothered me in a way that my best friend had a more awesome ice-cream cone than me.
Anyways, I'm over that childishness and after trying a few days here and there over the past few years, I'm finally signed up for a class. I am just finishing up a class called 'Shuttermums' and it has given me the confidence to take a class at a photography school. I wanted to go to photography school once I was done my BA at university, but I didn't have family support and at the time that was everything. I'm sad that I didn't, but happy too because I wouldn't want to spend most of my time earning my wage taking wedding photos.
Oh yeah, *COUGH* back to my outing to Hecla. I took some photos and for many the white balance was off or I didn't realize it wasn't in focus. I need a new eye thingy... yes that's a technical term.
I'm looking forward to my next outing.
