Isn't this a fun little bookstore? Two Saturdays ago, I ventured over there with a rented SLR camera. I am a beginner, and I still fumbled with the settings, but the trial and error helped me with my photography class! This was a cute shop for my experimental shoot!
I rented a Nixon D70 this afternoon. And it was one of the most frustrating, exhilarating afternoons of my life. To begin the journey, I spent an hour alone with the user manual and my photography textbook, desperately trying to grasp the basics of manual exposure settings.
(These are little books I made for my middle school girls at youth group!)
I eventually ventured out into the freezing cold for a photo spree. I stopped at numerous corners, squinting through my viewfinder and haphazardly scrolling the aperture and shutter speed wheels. It was so much fun.
These are only a handful of my shots today. They are amateur, to be sure, and I had to delete over half of my exposures (some were embarrassingly awful!). However, the Nikon and I became well-acquainted today, and I cannot wait for our next date!
