My new hobby.

I know what you're thinking. What is Tia going to get into now ? Well I tried knitting a few years back and have only had the attention span to be able to create scarves so that went out the door pretty quick. Well folks my new hobby is photography.

I have always enjoyed just plain old pictures but as I have grown up many aspects of photography have caught my interest. I enjoy seeing how a photographer can capture a moment, a feeling or even just a simple smile in just a flash so to speak. 

Shortly after I quit my 2nd part-time job I decided I needed something to put some time into. I told Ron about my idea of photography and of course he was completely supportive. I have been reading a few photography blogs, doing research on dslr's( digital single-lens reflex cameras) and trying to gain some technique with our current point and shoot digital camera(Sony Cyber-shot 12.1 mega pixels). Ron bought me a really great book for Christmas called Better Photo Basics: The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Taking Photos Like the Pro's. I love the way the author makes everything very simple for those of us with zero experience outside of taking lots of pictures at the bar :).

The other night I was playing around with the macro setting and taking pictures of my jewelry. I have to say I was pretty pleased. As time goes on I will share some of my photos with you all. Heck I might even be asking you to be my subject for a few shots!
