disillusionment

This past weekend I took a trip to Sequoia National Park with some friends. I donned my new dslr, eager to capture some breathtaking photos of the great outdoors. So not the case. As I uploaded my photos to my computer, I was horribly dismayed to see an endless array blurry, washed out or flat colored photos. As hard as I tried to adjust all the settings, and compulsively chimped my photos...they still were sub-par. My heart sank. Secretly, I think I believed I was going to be a photographer extraordinaire from the start. Unfortunately, like most things in life, it's going to take a lot of dedication and hard work.

Here are the few that I was satisfied with.




Here is the camping crew. This is with my point and shoot. I still need to figure out how the timer function on my dslr works. Ha.
