my camera and i are at odds with each other. it's been going on for a few months now. and it might explain the serious lack of photos this year. it's frustrating to me. i take out the camera with good intentions. but when i don't get the shot i want, i get frustrated and confused, and i give up.
i'm honestly not sure who is to blame. it might be the camera's fault. lots of focusing issues, and some color issues. could be the camera, could be the lens, could just be an off setting that i'm not seeing. or it could be my fault. user error. highly likely. i tend to have these brain fart moments. where i just forget the stuff that i DO know, and can't even take a basic photo.
i'm finally ready to figure it out. the first thing i thought i would do, is test out my camera and my lenses. luckily, alyssa's dad has the same exact camera i have, and some of the same lenses. and yes, we have the same camera bags too. i borrowed his for a few days, and am going to swap camera bodies and lenses and check them all against each other. then i'll go from there.
another thing that i'm feeling ready for, is to take this binder out. karen russell is my favorite photographer of them all. and i was lucky enough to get into her second session of the photographer's workshop, an online 9 week photography class that she teaches. this was almost 2 years ago, that i took this class. but sadly, i have just never taken the time to focus in and take the time to learn this. this huge amount of awesome information is just waiting for me to absorb and learn it. and i'm finally ready. i'm determined. i pulled out the binder and put it out on the island. that's a start for me. once things are on the island, they're a lot more likely to get paid attention too 🙂
