30 Day Photo Challenge

So I don't blog enough and I love taking pictures, so I thought I would do this so that I do more of both. I've really enjoyed photography in the past few years. It has just been a hobby, but I'd love to learn more about it! And I figure it's an easy thing to do with Elijah along. I'm not a great photographer by any means, but hey, maybe this will help me improve a little.

I have an old-ish point-and-shoot camera, but as far as point-and-shoots go, it has a lot of settings and is one of the nicest point-and-shoots that you could get when I bought it (2 years ago). I would love to have a digital SLR, but it's just not in the budget, so I'll work with what I have! One of my main goals with this challenge is to learn more about my camera and its different settings (e.g. ISO speed, shutter speed, f-numbers, aperture size, exposure, etc.). I really don't know much about these things. I also want to take this chance to really look at and think about picture composition, lighting, and how to look at the world in a different way to create exciting and interesting pictures :).

My goals is to try and take at least a few pictures every day and then pick out the best and/or favorite picture which I will post to my blog. I don't think I'll have the time to post every day, so you may see pictures in clumps :)! But I'll do my best to get 1 picture for each of the next 30 days. So here I go! Maybe I'll get my first picture up later tonight!
