On the Move!

March 10, 2011 by Aliesha

Vera is officially on the move!  She is crawling around all over the place and exploring everything. 

It’s so fun to watch her exploring!

She’s full of smiles and giggles too.

I’ve been trying to take better pictures using my camera Tad bought me for my birthday last year.  It’s a Nikon D3000, and I’m learning how to shoot not on “auto”!

I took these pictures the other morning in our office when the light was good. 

These pictures are all straight out of camera. 
camera: Nikon d3000
aperture: f/1.8
shutter speed: 1/160
ISO: 800
focal length: 35mm
no flash

Anyone have any photography tips for someone learning the ropes of a DSLR?  I love a good tutorial!

    She is so cute, I can’t believe how fast she is growing up! It takes awhile to really learn everything your dslr can do, but I think those are really good pictures you took ๐Ÿ™‚ If it helps, I did a little tutorial a few weeks ago- http://www.katieandspencer.com/2011/02/photography-hints-tips-suggestions.html
