My most favorite photo I’ve taken was of my son who had just turned 3. He was outside “helping” his dad build the shed and was wearing bib overalls and had a red toboggan hat on. He was standing in the doorway holding a broom and the natural light was PERFECT. His blue eyes were simply brilliant – what I aim for recreating in Photoshop, it was straight of the camera!

I not only need to learn this for my shop, but for my everyday photos as well. the book will help me feel a bit more confident when kicking the auto-focus habit! Thanks for the chance!
My favorite photo is a pic of my middle child at 16 months old at Chrismtas, sitting with her father. They are both looking off to the right, not straight at the camera, and the picture captures his love for her and her contentment in his arms perfectly.

I get great photos in the P mode on my camera, but it is a lot like Auto, b/c I do very little. I need something that makes sense to give me the push toward Manual shooting. So many things to keep in mind, and I’m worried I’ll mess up and miss the shot altogether!
Definately Lighting. HELP… lol it seems like inside or outside i always have bad shaddows. I would love better looking, cleaner pics 🙁
I take a million pictures of my girls..sometimes I get lucky & get a “money” shot…but I would love to be able to do that consistantly. I have looked at this book for a while! I would love to win it, but with a coupon I may have to buy it!
