And a little bit of touch up/cropping in Photoshop.
I still have a lot to learn, but I think I’m hooked on this photography thing.
I had a nice relaxing time in Florida. I really wish I could have stayed a lot longer, but we’re sort of busy at work and I have another week planned in April so a week had to do.
This was my first trip with my new camera. I’ve only had it for a few weeks and was excited to get some practice taking shots with it. I think I did alright. A few times I had settings wrong and a few times I didn’t have the tripod level, etc, but overall I think I’m doing well.
I’m still learning and I figure that practice makes perfect.
My goal for the next few years is to travel a lot more than I used to. Whether it be with friends or just by myself, I don’t care. I need to take advantage of my vacation days and not let myself get burnt out at work like last year. A person can only handle so many 60 hour weeks.
I posted the pictures in my Gallery. A few are cropped but I haven’t had the chance to do any touch-up work on them yet, and I’m not sure if I’m going to.
