In reply to Linda@Creekside. I do believe we owe a debt to all the phone cameras--so many more people take photos now than did prior to cameras on our phones. I love them.

I agree–iPhones can take some awesome pictures, far better than most cameras I’ve owned in my lifetime. ha. And we always have them with us, which is a great plus. I’m so thankful Steve Jobs (or whoever!) thought to combine phones and cameras. 🙂

I’m sure that orange and blue looked great together–Auburn colors (in case you didn’t know). 🙂 War Eagle.

In reply to Jean Wise. I keep hearing that too about blogging and photography. I guess it is a nice match!

It took me getting my own DSLR camera before I finally decided to really, really learn how to use it. 🙂 But it’s been SO worth it, even though I’m still a newbie.

This book won’t teach you about how to use your DSLR camera per se, but it will inspire you to learn more!

‘The best camera is the one you have with you.’

Absolutely.

Even if it’s just the phone. Sure beats not having it when you need it …

Enjoy the weekend, Lisa!

Hi Lisa! I do like to take photos, but I’m still at the “photographers have magic cameras” stage. Actually, I think my iPhone takes pretty good shots, but I also have a digital.
This summer we had a family picture taken. My husband and I wore black and white, my son’s family wore blue, my daughters wore orange. It looked great!

Photos make memories, they make them ‘stick’. I can see why you want to make them count! (And you have a daughter to help you too!)
Blessings,
Ceil

This sounds like a great book, Lisa. I like taking photos and am always looking for an unique one for the blog. I attended a blogging conference last year and they really pushed the importance of photo and how we are becoming so visually centered. Thanks for sharing some of the tips too. I will check out this book. You are always such a wealth of info!

I love photography. I’ve been procrastinating on really learning my husbands DSLR camera. This would be a great book to read. I am fascinated by light, especially the sun. So great to visit you again from Thought Provoking Thursdays!

In reply to Barbara H..

You’re like me then. You’d appreciate the tips in this book because they weren’t overly technical. I also liked that she kept the purpose in mind of why we take pictures in the first place. It wasn’t all about getting “perfect” pictures, but about capturing moments that we want to remember, real-life stuff, not just studio poses. You’ve got such a perfect little model ready for you! 🙂

This sounds like an excellent resource. I definitely need plain and simple instruction when it comes to photography. Too often I’ve clicked on a photography site and gotten lost in the vocabulary I know nothing of. I like the tips you shared.
