learning the settings


Sometimes photography is simply maddening. I hate when i get bound up in the mechanics of setting up a shot and miss the moments.
To whit, I have a new camera, I've used it before, but rarely to shoot in color. It's now my main camera, and there's a bit of a learning curve. Meaning I've got to get myself up to speed on adjusting ALL the settings on the fly, before I can hope to function at the speed that I'm accustomed to working at.
I feel like I'm relearning to ride a bike.

It's frustrating, but necessary. And there's no avoiding it.
Most important is sorting the color settings as I move from sunlight, to shade, to indoors.
My subject is named Ana, and she was a total sport for humoring me as I practiced. Thank you for your patience!

Thoughts....

I've always cherished photographs. The moments and emotions they capture, frozen for reflection. From quiet stolen moments to the most garish rebel rouser, all can be preserved forever.
For this reason I'm never happier than when I'm behind a camera. I can't wait to meet you, and to start helping capture your memories.
