Yay! I finally took a photography class this weekend to learn just how to use my SLR and I am so happy I did. It was a full day and my head was spinning by the first hour but I slowly started to get it as the day progressed. I need to practice A LOT, but at least now I know what to do to take a good picture, even if it takes me 5 minutes to set it up, lol. I will never be as good as our fearless leaders Treva & Bob, but that's okay, I just want to take some awesome pictures of my kids. Here's a couple sample shots from the day. They aren't much, but we were practicing different things with our aperture, shutter and ISO. Fun times definitely!
The creative genius :-) 
Working with depth of field. Love playing around with aperture. And of course I left the classes wanting a new lens that would let me open my aperture to a 1.8 (mine only goes to 3.5 at 18mm).
Taking our skills outside. Underexposed all the first shots, but I figured it out with our second "volunteer" (with the help of my meter though, would love to get good enough that I didn't have to cheat :-).
