Anonymous said...: LOL! I'll experiment. I don't plan on posting photos of myself but it will be fun to learn how to do it properly. ;-) Thanks and have a good Sunday!

Anonymous said...: Thanks, Melinda. I posted my first BW... well, sort of. LOL! I couldn't figure out how to get the BW photo but found a charcoal/chalk feature on photoshop, which kinda worked. I've been told to look at the hue/saturate section, so that's what I'll do next time. ;-)

WHY the name PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DUMMIES?

Because I don't know much about the digital cameras I have used over the years....and yet I am able to take photographs. I have never made it through my entire instruction manual for any of my cameras. I started out with a little cheap 1MP camera.....and progressed from there. I still only have a 5MP Lumix.

Can I explain much about the settings I use or how I captured the shots I have? No, not really. Does that negate the value of the photo? No, not really. They are what they are and can more than stand alone based on their own value.

I want this blog to inspire and encourage even those who think they are clueless or a "dummy" when it comes to taking pictures to just get out there and DO IT! After all if I can get these shots....I am pretty sure you could too!
