Welcome back!

Unfortunately, due to some pretty frustrating/huge/confounding (pick one or two, or all three) technical difficulties with my computers this week, your regularly scheduled Photo Tip, Part 2 on Taking Indoor Shots with Available Lighting has been pre-empted. I will be spending the weekend talking with tech geeks to solve the aforementioned challenges...

However, I thought I'd take this time to get a better sense of how I can best serve you with photography tips going forward. 

I know that you can search the web for any photography related questions you may have. So I want this place, my blog, to be a comfortable place you can come anytime for tips that relate to you and inspire you to do more with YOUR photography. To inspire you to use your own photography on your blog. 

I really love comments when you tell me what you've learned or add to a topic I teach on. That helps me know that what I do really helps you. 

So, after brainstorming with hubby, here is a fairly large list of topics I can cover. 

Please read through them and basically vote with your comments. Pick the top 5 or so you would like me to cover over the next few weeks. 

If you want to put them all in order, that's fine too! That would get me through the next few months, focusing on YOUR photography needs! 

The tips are technical, artistic or a combination of the two. 

Technical tips include things like the actual settings on your camera (or cell phone camera), ISO, Aperture Values, Time Values, etc.  

Artistic/Composition tips include things like perspective, framing, creating mood shots, etc. 

Really, taking pictures require a knowledge of both, but it helps to learn the technical aspects of what your camera can do and then apply them, all the while thinking about the "feel" or artistic side of the photos. 

With so many holidays coming up, I will do a couple of posts of how to capture the feel of the holidays and special family moments. To remember this stressful  happy time of the year!

Last thing before the list, I am happy to say that I am teaming up with the wonderful Raychael of Ms. Mystery Case to offer photograph tips there as well. She is in the business of helping you build and grow your blog. Go check her out and say, "Cheers!" She lives in the Land Down Under, Australia.
