13 Ways to Better Photos...DAY 10 {photograph-ese}

Remember when I mentioned camera-ese? Yeah. With reading & learning & researching, I still don’t understand it.

And I’m okay with that.

I know just enough about my manual settings to get by. And half the time I have no idea what I’m doing—pretending I do works pretty well (shhh!! Don’t tell anyone, okay?!) There are LOTS of big words floating around: aperature, f-stop, ISO, shutter speed, tilt angle, blah blah blah.

DO NOT GET OVERWHELMED!

For the first little while, master those details. I look back on some of my first photos & wonder WHO in the world would have paid me to take them. I’m still growing. Still changing. Still learning.

I hope I always am, actually.
