Photography

So I've decided to change this blog from a neglected personal blog to a functional photography blog. I do not claim to be a photographer by any means. Just a mom with a nice camera who wants to learn how to take decent pictures of her kids.

Here is the equipment I have:

Nikon D40

18-55mm kit kens

55-200mm Nikkor zoom lens

50mm f/1.8 lens (hasn't arrived yet)

SB-400 Nikon speedlight

Wireless remote

Tripod

-Adobe Photoshop CS3

-Adobe Lightroom 2.1

I just got the speedlight in the mail today and have taken a few photos with it. Its amazing how much better the pictures look when the flash is bounced off of the ceiling instead of straight ahead.

Here are a few pictures of my boys from today. Keep in mind this is my first attempt!
