Things I have learned since starting photography on Sept 2nd 2008
My pictures stink - Auto mode is not my friend
My pictures are blurry – bought cheap tripod
My pictures are still blurry – bought expensive tripod
My pictures are still blurry – bought remote
Found out what noise is (1st rejection) – read how to fix in Photoshop
Still have noise – found out why all pictures should not be 400 ISO ;)
Still have noise – “oh great” read reviews that state my camera has noise issues
Chromatic AbaWhat? – new term to look up. (rejection)
What is this histogram thing? – read internet, that helped
Need model release? – Why, ya can’t see their face or identify them (rejection)
Why do I have dots in my sky? UFO? – learned that sensors need cleaning
Raw? – to be continued……

Could be worse, I've been having a few focus issues lately, went to get my eyes checked and found they'd deteriorated to a point I can no longer buy contact lenses and if they keep going the way they are I'll be eligible for partial sighted status soon. If anything though it makes me feel confident that if I can take a good picture now, once they send my new bottle bottom glasses, I'll be awesome :) If I end up too blind, then I'll sell myself as the blind photographer, you'll never get me out from behind my lens, oh no.. never!

hahahha..... ;D it so funny because i really how bad my photos were and i learnt a lot new photos lingo....sorry i have not been diligent in learning how to solve the "problems" of my photography skills and i don't touch up any photo....unless it is to "erase" a small unwanted object or logo that was found to be offensive for stock. But i learnt a lot and try to take better photos. ;)
