Randomness Adventures

These are some of my favorite random shots taken while on our adventures during some different road trips.

From a Ghost Town

Pony, MT

I think this is an awesome entrance to someone's ranch

I think the mustache is made from coyote tails. 

I like the lighting exposure of this photo

An old homestead

Another old homestead

I love these old trees

Lesson of the week - Practicing taking photos while on belly, knees or back. 

I'm on my belly for this one 

I like the different dimensions and the cat tails in the middle

I'm on my knees for this one

Just a great shot of the mountains and sky here in Bozeman

**This week's practice tip is to take lots of photos of different subjects while on your knees, belly and back.  It helps you learn to see things more creatively and at a different angle, which adds much more dimension and elements to your photos. 

Beginning Digital Photography - Tips & Techniques

I'm just starting to learn the Art of Digital Photography and I am mostly teaching myself.  I can't afford to take any classes right now, however, I hope that can be in my future sometime.  But in the meantime I have a digital camera and I love to take pictures and I want to do it well.  So I am seeking information anywhere I can find it.  I've read the book that came with my camera from cover to cover, I have practiced taking photos and editing them using free software programs like Picasa.  And I have searched the internet for any kind of help in learning this art.  And I think, for a beginner, I have taken some pretty cool shots. 

One thing I have learned is that as a beginner I just need to practice, practice, practice.  Learn all the functions of my camera, experiment with how lighting affects my pictures, and experiment with my favorite subjects and the different ways to capture them. 

I have found a wonderful website that has helped me so much with tips and techniques on how to become great at digital photography.  Go to this link - Beginning Digital Photography  to learn more.

And here are some of my favorite shots I have taken.
