AND: I don’t know what I’m doing! Ha! I can’t remember anything about ISO this and manual that. Hmmm… I guess it’s been about 6 years since my last photography class. Here’s the very first photo I clicked with my new Canon Rebel XSi:
This brings me on to my Thursday’s Three:
1) Simplicity’s photography classes. I’m taking her upcoming class that starts on the 6th. Perfect timing for my new camera! I need to pull out my old photography textbooks… maybe it will help me figure out what I’m doing! One thing I love about her classes: they are inexpensive! I thought they were going to be way out of my price range, but I only paid $25. Her next class: Light, focus, crop, and perspective. Starts October 4th. (By the way: you still have 2 days left to sign up for her September class!)
2) I was recently e-mailed by Okkatots. They wanted to let me know they have baby carrier that they are giving away on their blog. I’m VERY interested in this carrier. I currently use, and love, the Ergo Baby carrier. The downside of my carrier: you can’t carry your baby facing forward. This drives Ruari crazy! She likes to see what’s going on but, she can’t while facing me in the Ergo. I’m going to share a few photos with you guys, because there are so many great features to this carrier:
3) My new favorite “Baby-Blogger”: Future DILF-in-Training. We’ve been neighbors on Top Baby Blogs for some time now, but I just haven’t had the time to explore his blog yet. I’m so glad I finally did! There is SO much to explore on his blog! Beautiful photos of his family, food, art… and then a very funny (and silly) photo series: Conceived and Composed. Please give this blog a visit! I’ve added his blog to my feed list. Yay! Here are a few of my fave photos from Future DILF-in-Training:
A little reminder: today is the last day for the photo challenge: Self.
So how do you like your new camera? I should look into photography classes too. I just have had really bad morning sickness so I have been MIA!
Congrats on your new camera! I recommend Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Exposure" that really helped me a ton. Can't wait to see more pics.
I have a tutorial on my blog about manual and changing your shutter speed and aperture. Im sure you will catch on quick its on the button how tos 🙂 glad you got it, you will love it!

I've added you to my feed as well :).As for the baby carrier, I also use the Ergo…and my wife just recently ordered and received the Moby.Verdict?I like my Ergo….but the one you feature here looks so multi-functional! Would hate to see our Ergo go to waste though….Anyway, thanks again for stopping by! You'll be seeing more of me in the future 🙂
