I am an extremely keen amateur photographer. Keen to the point that my friends and family moan at me about the numbers of photos I take and post on Facebook. Though it does amuse me how, on occasion, they have asked me if they can use the photos because they forgot their cameras!
It has taken me a few years to find a camera that I really love and produces fantastic images. I found it thanks to a friend who had taken better photos than me at a concert we both attended despite me being sat nearer to the stage! After a conversation on Facebook, she recommended the Canon Powershot, which I now proudly own, the SX150 model.
The problem is that I never know how to use all the settings. I tend to just use the Auto setting. I am always too lazy to read the user manual and honestly a little bit scared to do anything else but auto. So this year, I am determined to learn how to use my camera properly! Admittedly, I would love to own a DSLR camera but I think I best learn how to use my camera before buying one!
At the very beginning of January, a friend of mine on Facebook decided to set up a group for keen photographers as part of a challenge for 2013. The aim is to take a photo a day, based on the theme set each week. So far, I have managed to keep up and now I have decided to start this blog to document my progress, in the hopes by the end of the year that not only will I know how to use the bulk of the settings on my camera but producing better photos as a result!
So the plan is to blog the photos weekly, though I do need to catch up already! Each blog will be titled by the theme and where possible information will be provided about the theme and about each photo taken.
