A few weeks ago I got a nice new camera. Its a big ole fancy camera. It is capable of so much, and I love that I can learn with this camera. I do wish there was a photography class around here to help me learn, but oh well. I'm not really good at learning on my own, so this will be a slow process. I am reading one book now, and will move on to others eventually. I don't have as much time as I would like to devote to learning. Anyway, apparently part of getting a good picture is the post processing of that picture. So I have that to work on also. First you have to be able to take a good picture, otherwise, no amount of post processing will help. I have never done anything with my pictures after taking them except getting prints made. So now I am working on a basic touch up on the pictures before I get them developed. All of the pictures on this blog are all untouched. They are straight out of the camera. Look at these 2 pictures below. The fist one is straight from the camera. Now look at the second. It has a basic touch up done to it to enhance color and tones. The second one is so much better. So much to learn!

Ethan has started crawling. He just figured it all out on Sunday morning. Now I have to figure out how to keep him out of everything. He is also getting another tooth. His last front tooth is finally coming in. He is a bear too.

The weekend was ok. At least Ryan was home for most of it. We ran some errands on Sunday. Saturday we didn't do anything. It was just nice having Ryan home.
