Photography is something that scares me. I'm not sure why, I'm pretty good at snappin' pics on my Canon Power Shot (thanks, mom & dad, 2007 graduation gift!). And while I have loved all of the pictures I've taken, I feel like I do not capture "all 1,000 words" a picture is supposed to contain. I think it is the technology I'm afraid of, and all of the "photography" classes my friends have taken - need I do the same?! Or should I rely on my raw talent? :) But I digress - the type of pictures I'm adoring right now are similar to the ones below (from the oh-so-fabulous blogger, The Pioneer Woman):
The focus is on the foreground, and the background is fuzzy. LOVE. The subject matter here isn't too shabby either - who doesn't love homemade mac 'n cheese? And some butter?
Unfortunately for me, I am highly doubtful that my trusty Canon Power Shot won't deliver the results I'm after (someone prove me wrong!). So it would have to be put on my "wish list."
Some subject matters I would love to start photographing include:
- DC Monuments (cliche, I know, but I live here)
- My family
- Trinkets and family heirlooms around the house
- Nature - snow, leaves, flowers (I try to do this already with the "Macro" function on my Canon)
This should most certainly be added to my 2010 resolutions list! Of which I feel like I need to kick into high gear...!!!
