Learning to stop being so harsh

Last night was the last night of my photography course. I got a certificate as well.

I learned about layers.

I also learned that I need to stop being so harsh on myself. It really does not matter that others understood quicker how to get the sky transfer before I did. I did it in the end and that is what is most important.

I will be going on the advanced photography course in January. I think it would be good for me to get one it. I would also like to take a Photoshop course to help me with the editing.

I think I will have to look at the Photoshop book tonight once the younglings have gone to bed.

My confidence is beginning to return though. I am beginning to believe that I can become a professional photographer. I am still not sure what I will be doing but I just know that there is something out there that I can do.

I have also started thinking about outdoor portrait photography. I am not sure about children's photography at the moment but I think I will leave an open mind so that I start off doing something with a view of developing the skills at a later point.

I got this shot of the moon tonight. It is a lovely full moon. I am looking forward to getting a bigger lens so that I will not have to crop in so much. I am much happier with the shots that I have been getting. At least I have been able to capture the detail.



I got this shot of the younglings while we were walking to nursery and school. I always like seeing them walking along holding hands and I cannot resist taking shots of them doing so. It is also good experience at taking low light shots.



 



This is a shot that I got of the sun rising this morning. I am going to learn how to make a good job of cloning the line out of it.
