oh my.

This might very well be my most favorite photo I have ever taken. Ever. I love the simplicity. I love the expression on Micah's face. I love that this so captures him right now. I just love it. Oh and I am well aware that I need to cut his fingernails.

I had decided a few days ago that it is ridiculous that we have this nice camera and I typically shoot in auto with it. Then, when I try to shoot in anything other than auto, I hate the photos. So, I read a few tutorials online yesterday and then pulled my camera out at the dinner table to practice. Do you too have a fancy schmancy digital SLR camera and don't know how to use it?

CLICK HERE for my favorite tutorial.

The Pioneer Woman also has a lot of great ones but the one above is a great place to start.

    What kind of camera do you have and do you like it? About to buy myself a DSLR but not sure which one yet. Thanks for the link to the tutorial link.
