Because it's never just one thing you have to overcome... I'm posting about my severe hatred of taking pictures and my lack of know how or camera savvy.
When I started out I struggled with the camera. OK, I'm still working on it. I have never taken a class. Apature value and time value still confuse me a bit, but not as much as they used to (thank you JennaDesigns). I think I've nailed the macro settings and where the photo brackets, or focuses. I really really HATE editing & adjusting color after the shot. It's not that difficult to adjust your curves, mess with the saturation and hue. IF I try to do this... my colors never look true, or the white pages look so bright you can't see them anymore. So... my photos are a bit dark. Yes, the table I photo on has a bit to do with that... but I feel as if it's become part of my brand. It sets my shots out from anyone else's. So I own the shots that I have taken. I am good with the "darkness" because I know my colors are as true as you can get with a digital image and monitors may vary a bit. Who else has a gorgeous barn board table with THAT much character? I get some comments about it every once in a while. It seems without fail, a day or two later, someone will tell me they love my photos... thank you! For someone who has NEVER taken a photo class I think I'm doing OK.
Obstacle overcome! <3 in my mind at least :P
