In my experience Photos can edit quite well. I started learning how to edit on iPhoto then I got Photoshop Elements and I really like that, but for some things I almost think Photos is better for things such as adding contrast, definition, and brightness.

My editing process is usually play with the “Brilliance” and contrast to make the photo…[Read more]

@theodore Haha, we don’t even have dandelions this year though we’ve been having some really weird weather…

That’s a great idea! I will have to try that.

@ryanben2 Thank you! I have always just stuck to plain black backgrounds but I will start playing around with different colors!
If you want to see more of pictures I have a bunch on My Website here.

@theodore Yeah, I was definitely having a hard time with focusing 🙁
I love your idea with the lace! and I really want to try again with simpler…[Read more]

I don’t think I’ve been able to use a flash very effectively unless it was behind a diffuser..correcting the glare on an animal’s eyes is not my forte either

Huh…I’ve never had a problem with glare at least on cats and dogs, for some reason I’ve found that goat and cow eyes glare more than other animals.
The photo I attached was taken aroun…[Read more]

@theodore I totally agree with the whole “I’m being cute for 1.5 seconds so just try to take my picture!” And in the mean time you’re fighting to get the right exposure etc.

When you have really cluttered backgrounds I always try to over expose it, so maybe try using a flash but that always makes the chance of getting a second try a lot smaller…[Read more]

Hi @kina!
It is possible to shoot in manual with a point’n shoot but it can a lot harder until you get it down. I started out with a canon point’n shoot so I know a little about it.

You usually just have to find the little icons on the screen and figure some way to get to them! Sometimes next to the navigation buttons they might say ISO or…[Read more]

@bennett-family Well I use it a lot when I want to be somewhere else, such as holding a reflector or a flashlight and anytime where I don’t want camera shake but don’t want to wait for the timer.

@bennett-family This is the Remote Shutter Release I got only in the canon version and it works really well. The first one I tried it stopped working in about a month. With this one you can plug it directly into your camera or go wireless with the little receiver that goes onto the top of the camera.

@morganwriter1gmail-com Thank you for your ideas! I will definitely be trying them!

Oh, and I must add that it’s nice to know I’m not th only one who does crazy/creative things all for the sake of a picture!

Yeah, I’ve gotten into quite a few predicaments trying to get just the right framing etc.

@bennett-family Well he said it’s a good way to…[Read more]

@bennett-family Wow! Those are amazingly good for a first attempt! To be honest I’m quite jealous, my first time photographing fireworks was a big flop…

The first two are my favorites but with fireworks there are so many ways to capture the beauty I don’t think there’s a right or a wrong way to photograph them. Maybe if possible zoom out more…[Read more]

Here is one I took last night. I recently got some advice on how to photograph the night sky and this is my first successful attempt 🙂

@theodore and @loganlamar That sounds like it would be fun! I also have several photos with scriptures that I have made and don’t have any thing to use them for.

Sorry.

Here is one that I took with my sister and my friend. There might be more once I am done editing. 🙂
