You gotta see this!

One of my goals this year when the kids went to school was to learn how to use my camera to its fullest potential. I have never taken a photography class but I do appreciate a good picture. When Tim bought me this camera I promised to take lots of pictures and never visit a photography studio with the kids again. So far I've done both. I really love my camera but I mostly just keep it in "auto" mode because there are so many buttons and I don't want to mess it up. When the kids left for school I started checking around for some photography classes that I could take. One of the camera places told me that I could pay for a class or just buy an instructional DVD and that would help a lot more than a class. So I went on line to amazon and started searching for a Cannon D40 DVD that would help me get better acquainted with my camera. I know that most of you bloggers have the same camera I do and are just as clueless or slightly less clueless than I am. I'm here to bring you relief my friends...

As I said, I got these DVDs online for a few bucks on amazon. I sat down and watched this first one today and it unlocked a slew of secrets that I never new I could do. I watched some parts several times and then set out to take some sweet pictures. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD to everyone who has this camera. It was awesome! If you enjoy this and want to learn more they have other DVDs that increase in intensity and you can build on your skills. I'm starting the next one tomorrow! I can't wait!
