Words can't even describe how blessed I feel to have gotten the opportunity to purchase this camera. It's like all the stars aligned just right and this pretty little Canon XS landed right into my lap. Now in between class & family time I'm sneaking in as much camera time as I can. I'm excited for higher quality family pictures, a renewed love for photography & higher quality blog photos as well!
Now I'm teaching myself how to shoot in manual thanks to the help of this blog, this blog & this pin. Come back tomorrow to see so of my very first pictures ever shot in manual. I can't even lie to you guys, I'm ridiculously impressed with how much I've learned in such a short amount of time and how amazing my manual pictures are compared to those I shot in auto and thought were pretty awesome!
Congratulations!! I got my first DSLR a few months ago. I need to learn how to use it too. I am going to the blogs you recommended. Have a great weekend! Stacie xo

ReplyDeleteI still have to learn how to use my rebel in manual mode! Ill definitely be checking out those tips you listed!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI've kind of been doing the same thing.
I've had my DSLR for almost a year now and I KNOW how to shoot manual on a film camera because you HAVE to know, but I never knew how to change the settings on my digital, so I finally dug out the manual and figured out where they are.
YAY! So excited for you! I'm working on getting one by the end of next week! :D
ReplyDeleteI remember when Jenni was selling this camera! So glad that you were the lovely winner :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting those other blogs...I need all the help I can get!
