This past weekend a friend asked me to take some pictures of her grandson's 1st birthday. I was so excited to do this because I love taking pictures and capturing special moments. By no means of the word am I a professional, I just love taking pictures. In two hours, 120 minutes, I took 465 pictures. Let me whine for a minute and just say that I had a face ache because I kept one eye shut for that long. I will say I captured some adorable moments! The mom and dad are so photogenic and the baby, well, he is beyond cute! Even so, I missed some really great shots. Actually, I got them but I couldn't use them because of other people's flashes. I'll continue on the rant here. Not only were there flash issues, but no one knew where to look, even if I asked them, ever so nicely, to look at me. Ugh! I also felt like I was shoving people out of the way to get the best shot. I definitely missed a few that I could have captured. Honestly, phones will take nice pictures, but the Nikon 3200 will take a superb photo and really capture the moment. Okay, enough ranting!!!! It's time to get back to work, scaling back on the number of pics and cleaning them up.
I would love to hear advice or thoughts on other people's cameras and yes, I am lumping phones into that category too!
