“What’s the Word?” Wednesday: October 17, 2012

I’m healthiest when I’m writing: it’s cathartic, imaginative, organizational, therapeutic. I just love writing. And lately, I love photography. With two brothers who are professional photographers and a daughter who’s a natural, you’d think it would be easy for me. But it’s not. So I spent the better part of a thirty minute phone call with one of my brothers having him explain the simplest terms like aperture and shutter-speed. Now that I have a basic understanding of this and more (automatic white balance, anyone?), I’m very excited to see great improvements here at Frankly, My Dear…

For instance…

And THIS

Became THIS

Pretty cool, eh?

I certainly think so!

My brother checked out my camera online. I was crazythrilled when he said, “(Almost an expletive!) Mol! You’ve got a great camera!” Coming from a professional, that’s sayin’ something. Now all I need is this:

For this week, I’ll start with reading more of the owner’s manual. Anything I can’t interpret? I’ve got an app for that: I call it the iBrother.

And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!

    Hold head down (My hubby takes my pics…) I shake or something as mine always come out blurry. We got a tent to take pics now of the cards and it helped A LOT. But still crappy pics. I should take my manual out, but it will tell me to stop shaking..ha ha ha.. Love the photos you got!

      Winnie, I have the same problem. My brother suggested a tripod. I’m going to use Dot’s for my next round of photos and see what differences it makes. He also said never use a flash, but use the Automatic White Balance. It obviously made a LOT of difference, and for that I’m thankful.
