I Learned 1-6-11
Lifestyle

I hope you learned a lot this first week of 2011. I’m going to start posting my own “I Learned” here instead of linking it up with my old blog (I’m getting rid of that one). So here you go :O)

I learned that I forgot how much I love vignetting on the right photo. I realize that you can go overboard and make a photo look crazy but I think if you add just a little it really can bring a little something special to a photo. It doesn’t look great on all photos but I think it really makes this one pop.

Now it’s your turn. What did you learn this week?? You know the old saying “You learn something new everyday!” Take pictures of it and share with us!! Some weeks you may learn a photography skill and want critiques. GREAT!! Share and ask for them! If you didn’t learn a new photography skill but something about yourself or life, that is great too! Post a picture and tell us what you learned. Can’t wait to see your pictures and find out what you learned!!

As always
1. Post one photo.
2. Link your permalink, not your blog address, check out the I Learned Tab if you need help with this.
3. Attach our button to your post
4. Ask for critiques if you want them and post your settings
5. Leave a comment on 5 other posts
6. Open Thursday 8am – Saturday midnight (Japan time) or Wednesday 6pm – Friday 10am (EST)

Click it up a notch

    I totally agree with you Courtney…def. overkill, at times, but very useful….at times.

    Wow, isn’t she a cutie. I feel like she looks so grown up in that picture and I love the pearls.

      Yay!! So glad you are going to attempt manual mode! One of my friends told me when I started to shoot on manual “just put it on manual and don’t switch back” You will learn so much by practice, practice, practice :O) Good luck!! Would love to see some of your photos in the “I learned” picture share on Thursdays :O)
