You guys! The iPhone. I love it. It's a little tiny camera in your pocket. (Yah, I know. You can text and call and surf with it too. Blah, blah, blah) For the past several years I have left the big camera at home (the big camera that I never took off Auto mode) because it couldn't fit in my pocket. I took so many pictures with my iPhone. (and still do) One day, I decided to print off some of these pictures. The 4 x 6's were great. The one I loved of my son that I tried to put on a big canvas......not so much. In fact, it wouldn't even let me load it onto the site I was using because the image quality was so bad. I was so sad! All these years of picture taking and I could only have them in 4 x 6 form! Thus started my journey to really learn photography. I have read and studied, taken classes and, most of all, practiced. I turned my camera on Manual Mode and I haven't turned it back. (I am 43 years old. I am so mad at myself for not learning this passion to it's fullest until now!) One of the first pictures I took in Manual Mode was of this tree. I was fascinated with the light and how it was making the yellow leaves glow. If I focused on the tree in the background they looked like yellow orb-like lights in the foreground. It was the first time I felt in control of the light and the area I wanted to focus on. And the subject! .......it is a little like me and my journey in this world of photography. Thanks for reading.
