I want more hobbies! No wait, I would like more time to do the hobbies I only dream about! First and foremost, photography. See now that I said "First and Foremost," it will probably get pushed to the end of the list. That is why I am not even going to tell you what is left on the list!
So I got this awesome new camera for Christmas and it has been in it's bag more than out of it. It did show it's face for a few hours while a good friend of mine (shout out to Lauren!) attended a camera class at Best Buy. The class was way over our heads and we found ourselves staring at the instructor, staring at each other, and then just staring at our cameras. We didn't even know where to begin. I then attempted to give it a go and snapped a picture of Lauren who was sitting about 2 feet from me. The viewfinder went black. I thought my camera was broken. I attempted to take more and just more black. What the heck? I then realized that during this class of ours, we were instructed on how to change our settings in manual mode. I guess I know how to listen but not comprehend because I had changed something but had NO CLUE what I changed. GREAT! So then the instructor said he was going to come around and "mess up" our settings and then we had to fix them and take a picture that looked normal (aka: that had some color)! When he got to me, I can guarantee you that he didn't have to change anything on mine... they were already messed up! So needless to say, I left the class, bought $20 worth of accessories that the class had convinced me to buy (when they weren't even trying to do so), and then the camera went back into the bag. It is still there.
I will keep you posted on when the camera comes back out but I am hoping that it works out better than the last attempt! Who knew that photography could be so complicated if you are really trying. I don't EVEN want to get started on Photoshop. I watched about an hour of 5 minute You Tube videos on it and I know nothing! I think I need to go back to school. Would anyone like to fund me on this? If so, can you find me some time to take the classes as well? Thank you!
