Other than the Egg Nog Fudge from yesterday–which wasn’t much of a challenge, little Jiffy here is my very first photography model. She was bored out of her mind so she just sat there, patiently, barely moving–which, of course, was perfect for a Nikon noob like me.
See, there are a ton of buttons and dials and switches and slidey things on this pretty little brand new camera of mine–that, quite frankly, I have no idea what to do with.
Oh, fear not. I’ll figure it out.
But until I read all the manuals–there are 4, and watch all the dvds–there are 3, and check out all the websites–there are 10 billion, it would be in everyone’s best interest if I took it slow and just, you know, photographed things that don’t move or melt or run away or have their own agenda at all, like– a potted plant, or a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, or a wedge of smoked Gouda on a platter–minding it’s own business.
Lucky for me, every now and then, I do have one very still, very patient, very bored little kitty. And you know, that beats shooting a slab of cheese…
any day.
Know any good sites for beginners?
I can’t wait to see all the amazing pictures you take with your new camera… you’ll get it soon! 🙂
As far as tutorials go, I’ve seen some people on Pinterest post links to good tutorials. I’ll have to see if I can find anything specific to help you out! Have fun and good luck!
congrats on using your new camera and just keep the whiskey bottle near by for all those manual, DVD’s and instructions…..
This girl doesn’t even know how to get a silly pic from her little dinosaur camera onto the computer, so you’re out of luck here. Everyone take a deep breath cuz you’re not going to believe what’s next – maybe you could all come and help me figure it out since no one around here will. (Yes that means I have a zillion yrs of pics stuck in my camera – sure wish they still had film I could go develop and have real pictures in my hands)
