my photography || pictures i've been taking lately

I've been really trying to improve my photography lately. I'm starting to use Manual only (which is kinda hard to use).
And since Jason (my brother-in-law) is not here anymore to teach me photography, I've also been reading some photography books that a friend (who is very good at photography) is letting me borrow! I'm really enjoying them so far and I'm learning a whole lot!!!!
So, without further ado, here are some pictures that I've taken recently!!!















 



 

which picture is your favorite?
do you enjoy taking pictures?
what kind of camera do you have/use?

My Nikon D3000

I finally got one!!!!!! A Nikon D3000 camera!!! I'm so excited :)
I have been wanting and saving up for a camera for a long time.
I had asked Jason and Katy to keep a look out for nice used camera's on the internet. They showed me a few in the past, but they were always too expensive. So, they finally showed me this one, and it was perfect and was such a good deal too. Jason said it was a great starter camera. I prayed about it and the Lord worked it out for me to get it!
I've been snapping pictures like crazy! It's so much fun. I have been blessed with a brother-in-law who is very talented with photography and has a photography business. And since I want to improve my photography skills, Jason is going to be helping me out a lot.

The camera came with two chargers (one doesn't work :( ), a light box, an 18-55 mm lens, a remote, and a mini tripod (it's so cute)

I'm now going to be saving up for a camera bag, a camera strap (I might just make myself one of those cute scarf straps that you see on Pinterest), and a lens cap.

 



Now that I have a nice camera, I should have nicer quality pictures on my blog! I'm so happy! :)

I'll try and keep y'all posted on my little photography adventures!
