Roses were my 1st gardening obsession though don't have as many as I used to ! Theres nothing like hands on training for photography, and there are tons of free video classes out on the internet. Some that have helped me are by Mike Browne and Mark Wallace. Also Saxon Holts site Photobotanic has lessons that are specific to plants and gardens. I have taken a few workshops from him as well. <br />Happy New Year to you ! kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-90184547754647078012017-01-01T12:16:41.525-08:002017-01-01T12:16:41.525-08:00Thank you Deanne, that means a lot !Thank you Deanne, that means a lot !kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-8359409312408881962017-01-01T12:14:39.580-08:002017-01-01T12:14:39.580-08:00You can fix a lot of sins in Lightroom Hoov !

The first thing I did when I got my 1st DSLR was to take a 2 night not-for-credit DSLR introductory class at the local community and that was helpful. But the class at Yosemite (not free !) was the best thing I ever did. kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-90765507686636888772017-01-01T11:20:29.703-08:002017-01-01T11:20:29.703-08:00You definitely have a gift Kathy!

Thanks for sharing them. I still treat my digital SLR like a point and shoot. Some day I really should learn how to use it manually. I used to know, when I was in my 20s, how to use a pre-digital SLR, I even developed some of my own photos back then, on film. The specifics of camera use probably aren't really all that different.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-40173234554744956682017-01-01T08:26:18.645-08:002017-01-01T08:26:18.645-08:00Hi ks, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a c...Hi ks, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment!<br />Your photos are simply stunning! I just love them! <br />I would like to work on improving my photography skills this year and thought to do it buy reading a book, but your post got me thinking if taking a workshop is not a better option. It might be pricier, but most likely much more fun.<br />Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy New Year 2017!<br />Warm regards, <br />Christina <br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-10767100008206426482017-01-01T07:18:16.982-08:002017-01-01T07:18:16.982-08:00Fabulous Kathy!

One day I need to take a workshop, or at least start learning the capabilities of my own camera. In my case, good photos are more a matter of luck than planning.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
