Photography Tips & Tricks- Doh! I'm Sorry!

I have to apologize. When I said I would put together some photography how-to's & tutorials & things this summer, I had NO idea how much time I would be putting into the children's school schedule. I'm sure you've heard me say this already- that that took up almost my entire summer. I wasn't able to get this done like I said I would, and I apologize. I pride myself as being someone who's true to their word, so even I am disappointed in myself.

Anyway, I'd still like to do this, but I'm just not going to give myself a deadline this time. I'm going to try & work on a white balance tutorial first, complete with assignments. If you actually do the assignments, leave a comment under that topic stating you wish to participate & leave a link to where we can find your results, and I'll add your names & a link to your blog  to the bottom of the particular topic's page so you can look at others' results. I think I'll also add Q&A's at the bottom of each topic's post.

And don't let the complicated sound of white balance turn you off! It's actually kind of fun and makes a big difference in your photos if you know how to use it. Some advanced point & shoot cameras will let you do a custom white balance, and even the less advanced point & shoots (P&S) will at least let you choose your white balance. So it's not just for DSLR's (digital single lens reflex cameras).

At any rate, stay tuned! I haven't forgotten this project!

I have been wanting to learn more about white balance, but can't seem to be able to stick with reading that thick manual that came with my camera (zzzz....!). Nor have I gotten very far into my $20 SLR Photography for Dummies book. Maybe this will help... IF I will make myself take time to do the lessons. I bet if I mention it to Huz, he'll encourage me to do so...

Love your Wordless Wednesday pics!

I forgot that i hadn't logged back in after my IE randomly shut down a few minutes ago. (It does that a lot.) I'm still not signed in, but that's OK; I'm going to bed.

Count me in! I've used the different WB selections on my camera and have done custom one time, but would love to learn more.

Looking forward to some assignments!
