becoming a better photographer

So one of my goals for this years is to become a better photographer.

To try new things,

To have fun,

Take more pictures of my kids

and

To put the art back into my pictures.

Luck for me last week while looking at one of my fav. blogs The Idea Room (link in my side bar) there was a photographer who is telling it all when it comes to photographer.

The photographer Kristen Duke challenged the reader to go all manual.

So I did it and I turned out great!

These are the picture I came out with. I have not done any photoshop to the pictures and look at the color I love it! It will still take some time getting the hang of working with my camera but I'm up for the challenge to get great color like this.

My boys are so cute!
