She took time out of her day today to talk me through using my 50mm lens. I have this one:
It is a great lens but it doesn't "talk" to my camera body (a Nikon D60) at all. So, I am usually left frustrated, with blurry pictures as shooting in manual mode AND manual focus is hard for a mom like me. Maxine gave me a few tips today and Kate was in a great mood so I ended up with about 6 decent pictures (ignore the fact that I took 176 - no joke).
I also branched out and shot in RAW so Maxine could have fun editing a few of my images!
Here's one I took SOOC (straight out of the camera - no editing at all):
And after a few touch ups!
My favorite SOOC
Black & White (this will be framed ASAP)
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with my SOOC images! My persistence paid off and I ma actually stunned that I took these pictures! And thank you Maxine for the touch ups!
