I learned how to slow down and really think about my shot this week. I realize if I put a little thought into my photos then I can step away from them looking like snap shots!

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 and tell us what you learned.
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 – Sunday 8am (Japan time) or Wednesday 6pm – Saturday 6pm (EST)

    Are you starting to notice a trend that I’m always the first to comment??? LOL Anyways, yay for slowing down. I still need to work on that.

    Congrats to The Farmer Family! I love that photo!

    Great advice and something I really need to work on right now. With the move, I’ve not put much thought into my photos and I was just thinking the other day that they are all looking so snapshot-ish right now, so your words will be with me in the days ahead.

    How you look at a scene really does make a difference. This is a lovely shot. I found you over at Nancy’s “A Roural Journal”. Your button wouldn’t allow me to copy today, so I added a link instead.

    Great website too, there’s always lots of interesting information on here. Thanks!

    That is a beautiful shot, I love the way you framed it. She is going to cherish this when she’s older.
